Decided to head up with the So Cal Hikers and Peakbaggers to Dry Lake this past Saturday.

S Fork Trailhead:

Chilly morning, snow everywhere.

But by Poopout Hill, not a soul had a jacket on.


San Gorgonio Mountain (11,502'/3506m) was sure looking good.


The trail was well tracked up to S. Fork Meadows, but only lightly tracked to Dry Lake. We of course headed up the "winter route" (straight up the drainage) instead of risking the exposure that the actual trail entails.



Ever wonder about this rock? It kind of sits out there in the middle of everything all by it's lonesome. There aren't a lot of rocky walls for it to fallen from. I suspect it's a glacial erratic.


Almost there.


Dry Lake. Really beautiful day. Lake Peak is seen beyond the lake.


Looking SSE from the outlet of Dry Lake.
