Galena Peak and Galena West
Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2014 9:41 amSean and I hiked to Galena and Galena West on Friday from the Vivian Creek trailhead. We had a valid permit, but nobody bothered to check it.
The headwall was difficult, but we had perfect weather and great views. San Jacinto looked dark and ominous from Galena. Here are some of my favorite photos.
