Vivian Creek II5/6/21 Almost a year since I had been on top of Gorgonio, and Vivian Creek had just recently reopened after the fires. It was a beautiful day with only a few people on the trail and nobody on top. 17 images · 1 video |
Aspen Grove II7/16/20 Second time up the Aspen Grove trail, but much different looking than last time after a huge fire a few years ago on this side of the mountain. But 23 miles and more than 4,500' of gain is always fun. 20 images |
Vivian Creek6/18/20 Another trip up Vivian Creek, except this time without snow. Beautiful weather, 19 miles, almost 5,500' gain, and solitude on the summit, made for a great day. 14 images · 1 video |
Columbine and Forsee5/7/20 Almost 17 miles and 4,500' of gain up the San Bernardino Peak trail. There was too much slushy snow for a summit, so I tried some great new trail to Columbine Springs and Forsee Creek instead. 13 images · 2 videos |

Alger and Dobbs3/23/20 15.5 miles and almost 4,000' of gain on Momyer to just below Saxton camp. Perfect weather, and lots of water flowing in Alger and Dobbs creeks, made for a great day. 13 images · 3 videos |

Momyer II4/29/18 My last time up Momyer was as part of the 3 Peak Challenge in 2017. This time it was just for fun. A long day, with 28 miles, 7,300' of gain, howling winds and freezing temps on top did indeed make for a lot fun! 27 images · 1 video |
San Bernardino Peak5/12/16 A trip with Dad to San Bernadino Peak near San Gorgonio. 16 miles and 5,000' of gain on nice singletrack, together with some unexpected snow trekking, while seeing only a few other humans, always makes for a great day! 30 images · 1 video |
