Due to the forecast for hot weather, we started the hike at 5 am. Weather temp was cool and good for hiking. We used our…

Nice constant grade of the trail.  As we summited the El Dorado fire broke out and we saw its quick advance. There were large plumes…

This started awesome and ended unfortunate.  We started in the dark just before 5AM when the temps at the trailhead were perfect.  Shorts and tshirt…

Number 5 of 6 Done.   First Summit on San Bernadino Peak – good trail, decent views, trail is in good shape, but not my favorite…

Awesome, well-maintained trail. So beautiful!

Closing in on the final three peaks (of the Original 6), my friends and I hiked San Bernardino Peak, which stands at a very respectable…

Long long trail. Don’t get me wrong though, the views and plants and all still amazing!! Much of the trail is very overgrown with manzanita, so be…

BOOM! So so good!

An early start was ideal as it reached the 90s in the PM. Trailhead access requires 1/2 mile offroad and the last bit is pretty…

Favorite hike so far.  The views were incredible along the whole route.  The trail is mostly smooth dirt but does get a bit rocky toward…

First time finishing the original 6 and it feels great not to show off but it gives you a sense of accomplishment and drive that…

Hot but beautiful day with amazing group of people

San Bernardino was great. Lucky that I did it a week before fire. But also sad that the fire is burning.

Just shy of 17 miles, something like an Alisha Keys song for today, “My feet were on fire!”

Such a beautiful trail, I’m now conflicted between Baldy and SB as my favorite 🤔 There were very few people on the trail, the weather…
