When i reached the summit there were only 5 other people up there. Will post pics tomorrow. Yeah that fire road sucks. Next time you go try going up via the Ski Hut trail, then down via Backbone and reward yourself with a drink and lunch at the Ski Lodge.

But the Lodge is only open Fri/Sat/Sun and I want to avoid crowds. I'll probably just do the Ski hut trail up and Backbone down (without lunch at the lodge) later this year. Edit: Have you ever hiked San Gorgonio? theHUNGERian fucked around with this message at 02:32 on May 26, 2016 |

If not for the hellish first mile it would be my favorite hike in SoCal.

I'll give it a try later this year or next. I am assuming it would be suicidal to try Gorgonio in the snow if I have very little experience hiking in the snow, right?

Depends on how much snow. When we went it wasn't bad. About 3-5 inches of fresh snow - probably the last that mountain will see for the season. Now middle of winter or after its had snow settle on it for a little while you would be crazy to try without plenty of experience and appropriate gear.
