Hiking date: April 22, 2016
Location: San Gorgonio, CA
Rate: hard  
This was our first hike in the 
San Gorgonio mountains and our second mountain hike. Unfortunately, mom had strep throat. So we canceled a Mecca trip and the other two hardhikers did some thinking. They decided to hike Vivian Creek, a short way up to the summit of San Gorgonio mountain. After all, we did have some Vivian permits.
Anyway, on with the hike! P.S. I learned how to make really cool captions!
                                It all started with meeting a forest ranger named Ranger Dave
