For my final peak on my 2025 Six Pack of Peaks Challenge, I needed to climb up Mt. San Jacinto. While I had an overnight permit for Monday night at Little Round Valley, the forecast was calling for snow showers. Instead, I opted to do it as a day hike. I opted to take the Deer Springs Trail up, as I have never done this route. After having lunch in the hut to avoid the wind, I scrambled up the boulders to enjoy the summit once again. Instead of retracing my ascent route, I opted to head down to Wellman Divide and then back over to Strawberry Junction, which I also had never hiked before.
