Marion Mountain kicked my Peach!

Father’s Day solo hike up to San Jacinto.  Second time up here, thought I would try Marion Mountain to live up to its “steep” climb of 4,500 ft elevation gain.  It was a great work out, made to the top in 3.75 hours, had great views at the top.  Scrambling to the top there was a bit snow, but did not need microspikes, got away with my hiking boots and poles. So many beautiful waterfalls on the trail, it was so pretty!  Definitely got hot towards the parking lot and more bugs showed up.
