We started our hike at 6:45am. Our planned route was to go up Ski Hut and down Devil’s Backbone. Temperature was warm and the bugs were out on the ascent. Not too windy at the summit. Temperature was warmer and not too many bugs on the descent. Met 2 other hikers (mother and daughter) that are doing this challenge. It’s so cool that they’re doing this together. The stats – 11mi, 4000’gain, 7hrs, 2.5L water, 20oz. electrolytes.

Hey! Where you hiking for Peak 9? My mom and I will be hiking Peak 6 at San Gorgonio this month!
Peak 6 at San Gorgonio is a great way to finish the challenge! Congrats!
Tell Wanda I said hello!
I am also planning on doing San Gorgonio this month, either 9/23 or 9/30. What day are you planning on hiking it? Maybe I’ll see you guys at the summit
Thanks! We are planning to hike it on the 24th. We want to experience the sunrise at the summit. What time do you recommend we start?
I’ll definitely let my mom know you said hi
Wow! Sunrise at the summit. That’ll be amazing but you might have to start at 2-3am, or do an overnight before the summit. Are you going via Vivian Creek? I had to push my hike back due to conflicts so now I’m looking at 10/7 or 10/8, but going via South Fork. Looking forward to reading your report and seeing some pics. Be safe and happy trails!
