Beautiful day with perfect weather. Got a late start around 9 AM, made it to the top at 2 PM, ate, took photos, and left the summit at 230, arriving back at the car by 630. Not a very steep hike, with a 4500 foot elevation gain over 10.5 miles, but still very long.

It was a long hike, but great to be able to reach the summit. 4 of our members decided to head back 4 miles before the summit because it was getting late. make sure to start early if you are going to do it in 1 day. It takes anywhere from 9 to 12 hours, depending on the pace and stops. This was our 2nd time, just different trail start.

It was an incredible hike and water supply was great (be sure to take a filter system)! It was our first time hiking that area and we loved it! Still some snow on the north side, but it just added to the fun! Thanks for your great blog and all the information!

It sounds like you hiked to the top via the Vivian Creek trail, which is a great way to get to the top of San Gorgonio. Halfway camp is also a great place to camp on that trail.Brian & Ashley's Hiking Blog!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09931360309033117724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309261864284951851.post-41970964750733005212010-08-24T07:34:42.410-07:002010-08-24T07:34:42.410-07:00My wife and I just completed this hike and it was ...My wife and I just completed this hike and it was tough! We camped at Halfway Camp and agreed that hauling our backpacks to 8100 feet was easier on us than taking them to High Camp at 9200 feet. Much better for us to go with a daypack from Halfway Camp.

There should be plenty of streams this time of year to filter water from. <br /><br />There is one main stream when you hike on the way up and there is lodgepole spring by Dry lake (which should have water in it now).
