Mt. San Gorgonio - South Fork Trail
Highest point in Southern California
(permit required)
25 miles north along Highway 38 from Redlands, CA (jenks lake rd)
Trailhead, 6900 feet
at the start... 7900 feet
i'm guessing this is horse meadows?? if it is, its 2 miles in at 7500 feet
just after this pic the trail splits in three - take the middle path
you'll soon enter the official san gorgonio wilderness for which you need a permit.
steeper hiking, but at least its partially shaded..
this is the 'fork' in South Fork trail - we're going right to Dollar Lake and back
the entire loop is 23 miles and can be done in one day if you start hiking around 8 during the summer.
3.75 miles, 8100 feet.
getting higher..
about 5 miles, 9000 feet.
Trees!!
about 5.5 miles, 9500 feet.
OK, prepare yourself for disappointment!
this is supposed to be Dollar Lake - however its all dried up!!
usually its very beautiful and worth the 0.6 miles from the main trail.
5.75 miles along main trail and then 0.6 miles down - 9219 feet.
