Beautiful oak leaves near Jenks Lake, San Gorgonio mountain. San Gorgonio mountain is also called "Old Grayback" and it is the highest mountain in Southern California, at 11,490 feet. Apparently one can see it from the summit of Mt. Whitney, which is 190 miles away! It is part of the San Bernardino mountains and its snow melts and runs into the Whitewater River and channel, which feeds the aquifer of the Coachella Valley. It overlooks both Redlands and the city of San Bernardino and it is easily visible from the Coachella Valley. In fact, I see it every morning when I drive to work. The Whitewater Preserve is at the base of it and we will travel up there to see the fall leaves soon.
