EAST FORK OF THE SAN GABRIEL RIVER | THRU-HIKE | 2023 | 4K

A 20 something miles of rugged terrain inside the one of the most isolated parts of the San Gabriel Mountains, the East Fork of the San Gabriel. We converged at the East Fork parking lot and left our cars there, then a shuttle we rented brought us to Vincent Gap parking lot 87 miles around LA to San Bernardino county. It is a downhill hike from Vincent Gap to the bottom of Vincent Gulch. The group brought a sign post to replaced the old one in the Prairie Fork trail. Each one also carried a bag of cement and some other paraphernalia.
I have done this hike a few times already but it is the prettiest this time. The water is just like never-ending pool, it was so refreshing. The debris caused by the flash floods was not so bad as we expected. In fact it was much easier to hike the river than last year.
Thanks to Alan for the invites. Thanks to Jennifer for taking care of our shuttle ride. And also to Stevie for leading the repair of the Prairie Fork sign. Of course to Gordon for clearing the Mine Gulch trail a few days before the hike which was full of debris.
