A challenging hike to San Bernardino peak at 10,649 feet up with a low quantity of hikers today, Nov 9th.
This well marked and maintained hike has significant elevation gain, unfortunately there are few sights until the main vista around mile 5. Be prepared for a workout.
This trail is 16 miles round-trip with 4650 feets gain, it's quite tough, but the reward is stunning view, I really enjoyed this hike.
Loved the hike. Beginners beware but don't be discouraged.
This is an excellent trail. You should not try to summit if you are a novice hiker. The peak is eight miles with a4700foot elevation gain from the trail head. A moderately good hiker will make the summit in 4-5 hours. It can get cold up here even in summer so make sure to bring col weather gear and plenty of water. I recommend at least 3 liters. This is a strenuous hike, but the views are worth it. Backpacking campers can stay at Limber Pine camp about 2 miles below the peak.
