Challenging hike for a Midwestern flatlander like myself. Every turn offered amazing views. Shaded areas had bug activity, but fortunately, no mosquitoes. Several water sources and campsites were along the way. The night sky view was stunning. For day-hiking, I suggest starting early, dressing in layers, and wearing a sun hoodie for exposed areas. Bring 3 liters of water, trekking poles, and water filtration. The only advice I have is to avoid hiking down 4 hours before sunset. There’s not enough daylight to make it back down safely. 5-6 hours before sunset is ideal.

San Gorgonio it’s tough going up to the summit. I did it under heavy snow storm on 12/30/23 A challenging mount with amazing views. It took me around 9 hours to complete out and back.

This was an amazing place to hike. It’s a Pine forest for much of the trail (I took San Bernardino Peak Trail), so you are shaded from the sun most of the time, even at the top. The trail is 8 miles one-way, and where it’s not shaded it’s a manzanita grove. There are at least 2 campgrounds along the way to the peak, so take advantage of that if you can’t do 16 miles in one day. As of now, November 2019, there is no longer a requirement to apply for and get a day hiking permit. I applied for one anyway and got a response back that it’s not necessary. I did not encounter many bugs on my hike.

So far I have hiked up to San Bernardino Peak and San Gorgonio Peak, they both are tough peaks to hike up, but the views are stunning.
