Backpacking Mount San Gorgonio Via Dry Lake Part 2

This was the second day of my hike up to the summit of Mount San Gorgonio, and I got a chance to see so many different varieties of pines, along the way.

Backpacking Trip To Mount San Gorgonio and Dry Lake Part 1

I hiked up the South Fork Trail to Mount San Gorgonio. Come follow me on my backpacking journey in the wilderness, and learn what it takes to make it to the peak. It's one of the most beautiful trails in the San Bernardino National Forest. Find some peace and solitude here in the wilderness.

Iron Mountain in Poway, CA Elevation 2681

I set out on the 6 mile trail to Iron Mountain (Elevation 2684), leaving from the trailhead around 9am. This is "Little" Iron Mountain, not Big Iron, the one with 7000 feet of gain in the Angeles Forest. This hike has far less gain, but is definitely challenging.

Split Rock Loop

I will be hiking the Split Rock Loop past Skull Rock in Joshua Tree National Park. The hike is 4 miles, and is rated as Easy to Moderate. It's a perfect hike if you are staying at Jumbo Rocks Campground in Joshua Tree.

Arch Rock Loop in Joshua Tree NP

I visited Joshua Tree National Park and stayed at Jumbo Rocks Campground. Nearby was the popular 2.5 mile trail, Arch Rock Loop. Here is what you can expect, if you visit this trail.
