SAN GORGONIO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA'S CROWN JEWEL
The San Gorgonio Wilderness... Land of wondrous lakes, monumental snow-capped peaks, lush, verdant forests and meadows, narrows, perilous canyons, gentle valleys and raging streams: A wonder of God's Design. It is for these reasons that nature enthusiasts have been traversing the bountiful terrain in numbers of the millions during the last century and a half. The west sides of the wilderness are prevailed by Southern California's classic vegetation, chaparral, a mixture of miniature trees and bushes, togetherwith scattered pines and firs every so often. To the east reveals a desert paradise holding pinyons, junipers, joshuas, cactus, rugged and dangerous terrain, as well as scarcely visited, Whitewater Canyon, an awesome formation resembling that of Utah and Arizona. And in between those two...expose the most impressive regions in Southern California. Verdant pastures and forests are absolutely compelling things to experience. An Aspen Grove beckons those who are reminiscent of the gently swaying, quaking trees. Four lakes surround the high country, marking but another amazing feature of God's bountiful and indescribable beauty of HIS Creation. Numerous peaks soar over the 10,000' mark, providing a wondrous backdrop to the wilderness. And finally, recognizable in distances as far as 100 miles away, is Mount San Gorgonio, marking in at 11,512' above sea-level. It is the tallest peak in Southern California, and until Canada is the tallest in the Pacific Coast Range, which extends from the tip of Baja California up to Southern Alaska. As you can plainly see, this is the nature crown jewel of Southern California, it shall forever remain a wilderness lost in God's bountiful time.
Let the Creator be Praised.
