| Trailhead | From our campsite at Dollar Lake Saddle along the San Bernardino Peak Divide Trail |
We slept the night before at Dollar Lake Saddle where we were very cold when we arrived. When we woke up in the morning, the weather was actually a little more pleasant than we had anticipated it would be. It was still a little chilly, but the high pressure front had moved in with abundant sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. We started the hike around 9:00 am on the Peak Divide Trail and make it to the summit of Gorgonio by 10:45 am. We couldn’t have asked more a more pleasant day for hiking… the wind was light to non-existent, and visibility from the summit was great. We made our descent on the Vivian Creek Trail and were back at the FJ by around 2:00 pm. The total distance for the day was 12.4 miles. We completed a very beautiful 26.4 mile hike over the weekend and then had lunch at El Mexicano in Forest Falls.
