San Gorgonio Wilderness Boundary

About a mile up the trail we cross the boundary of the Wilderness Area. Wilderness Area is a legal designation to protect the wildness of the area.

San Berdoo Trailhead

In April some friends from work and I went on a 4 day hike through the San Bernardino Mountains to Mt San Gorgonio. San Gorgonio is the highest mountain in Southern California (south of the Sierra Nevadas). 

Colorado River

Colorado means "red color". A reference to the red sand that gets
washed into the river when in rains. Further downstream, below
several dams, the water is clear and blue as the lakes formed by the
dams allow the red sand to settle to the bottom
