Though my system literally ran out of gas the last 1.7 miles to the summit, this good ole’ boy managed to summit and NOT turn back.
It would have helped greatly if I had something to eat prior to hitting the trail. But waking up late and rushing to get good parking made this bonehead miss an essential meal required for a lengthy, high-elevation hike… Aargh!!!
Overall, the day in the mountains turned out to be pleasant with cool and often times breezy conditions.
There were a good amount of hikers on the trail. Met several other 6-Pack of Peak Challengers; most of which are new to the challenge – AWESOME!!!
Well hope you enjoy the photos of the 3 Saints – Mount San Gorgonio, Mount San Jacinto & Mount San Antonio. Also, a photo of Etiwanda Peak; a peak least visited but with 1 more mile of travel offers awesome views to the east & other peaks of the Cucamonga Wilderness.
Alright, peak #4 bagged. Now 2 more to go… San Berdo Peak & Old Greyback… Hoo-ah!!!
What a beautiful day! Great shots of the Three Saints. I like the labels you added.
Speaking of “peaking out”, I’m planning to hike this on Saturday… the day after Mt Wilson and the day before Mt Baldy. Should be… interesting. 🙂
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and definitely should not be skipped before a big hike! Also, proper snacks and hydration are a must for me on hikes!
