They have parking and restrooms at their Bear Paw Preserve, and just want you to contact them in advance when you want access. Galena, Wilshire, and Birch Peaks are all within the Wildland Conservancy's land holdings. More on the Preserve: http://www.wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve_bearpaw.html
If you're planning to traverse this section, it makes more sense to go from Little San G to Galena. Most people seem to go the other way, which makes no sense. Going up Camp Creek to the ridge is a delight. Coming down it would be a nightmare. The ridge includes two sections within a half mile of Galena where there are short bits of mandatory loose, steep third class. Eastward, these are climbs, westward, they'd be scary descents that would be hard to identify as "the way to go" from above. Lastly, the Mill Creek Jumpoff is a lot more fun to go down than up. Do it west to east. You'll be glad you did.
As you can see, I did it this way because the route I describe starts with Little San G. I don't know whether a Route can be a parent. I see your point but I don't know if the SP page protocol will accommodate your suggestion.

Can this be moved?Yucaipa Ridge shouldn't be a child of Little San Gorgonio Peak. The ridge should be the peak's parent. How to rectify this?
