Distances Total Elevation Gain / Loss Extremely Difficult 12 to 18 miles 3,300 feet to 5,500 feet Description - Where do I start? I can't! So let's just leave it at that. Benchmark Hike - Saddleback (5,687') - 16 mile - 4,000' hike. One of my local favorites! After a day on this trail, you'll need a warm Jacuzzi to either caress your feet or thaw them out. We have had to deal with snow on more than one occasion atop this mountain. Benchmark Hike - Mt. San Gorgonio via Vivian Creek Trail - 16 mile - 5,500' hike. Quite easily, the most difficult hike we do. Let the numbers speak for themselves.
