Vivian CreekHas anyone been up the Vivian Creek Trail lately? I left a post on the San Gorgonio site, too. I have only a lil' winter experience, but do have snowshoes and expect the trail to be farily worn, at least to a point. I'd go as far as I could. Don't know what that point is, but I sure miss that beautiful wilderness. I'm tired of seeing downtown LA from my hikes!

In my experience, there are places where one does not follow the trail in the winter. For example, the hated switchbacks above High Creek are buried and people head pretty much straight up. That often applies to the switchbacks after Halfway. The paths are easy to follow except right afrter a snowfall.
I have done Vivian Creek in boots, snowshoes, and crampons. As in all winter hiking, things change a lot. vivian Creek can be easy, tedious, downright dangerous, etc. I have not been lately, but imagine that it is looking pretty good these days.
