Galena Peak was the final peak in the San Gorgonio wilderness for Uwe and me to climb. Reviews from previous peakbaggers said it was tough. Those were understatements.

I had not paid any attention to the comet NEOWISE until I heard time to see it was running out. So we did not hesitate and went out to the mountains to see it.

We’ve done quite a bit of hiking in the San Jacinto Mountains, so finding something new is not so easy. Sam Fink Peak was one we hadn’t visited and the area was closed for a number of years due to some devastating fires.

The trail started with the warning sign. I didn’t quite know what to expect.

A hidden gem in the San Bernardino’s.

The 4th of July weekend brought Quinn and her boyfriend, Ken, to experience some San Bernardino hiking.

3 days at the very southern tip of the Sierra Nevada. The mountains here are not very high, but still fun to explore.

We have done quite some hiking on the desert divide and between us where only missing Antsell Rock (“Gem of the desert divide”) and Apache Peak missing.
