Any openings on your permit for San Gorgonio, Oct 29-30?

My friends and I were unable to get permits for the weekend of Oct 29/30. There are 3 of us and either date would work. We’re looking to fill in other folks permits if you happen to have space. Thanks for the consideration!

From what I understand a walk up permit should be fairly simple to obtain.

But you have to get there early.

It may be tough finding room for three people on an existing permit. I know someone in the FB SoCal Hikers group is hiking Gorgonio on the 29th: https://www.facebook.com/events/572321149622741/

When I recently inquired about walk-up hikes for San Gorgonio, it sounded like they typically had between 3-5 available as walk up permits, so you need to get there real early

Thanks all. I guess a walk up is better than nothing… its such a long hike we were hoping, obviously, to get started before sunrise (I have bad knees and am super slow on the descents) but I suppose we could just hike out with headlamps if we needed to.

My permit is for 21-22 Oct, sorry.

I took last Friday 21 Oct off from work to hike San Gorgonio because no permits were available for weekends until late November. Just make sure you have a permit, i talked to a ranger on Vivian Creek Trail and he said it’s a $4000 fine if you get caught hiking without a permit. Just two weeks before at San Bernardino Peak Trail another ranger told me it’s a $700 fine for not having a permit. Not sure why the fine is so different from one trail to the other if both trail are in the San Bernardino Wilderness.
