Met up with my hiking partner Phil around 5am at Marion Mtn TH to stage vehicles then headed down to Humbler Park in his truck. Up Devils Slide was almost snow free to Saddle Junction. We had good snow between there and Annies Junction on the PCT. From there to Wellman Divide it was patchy. After Wellman it was about 90% continuous snow travel all the way to the peak at San Jacinto. Amazing amazing views especially snow capped San Gorgonio and Baldy. Back down it was getting a little soft and postholey. From Annies we continued NOBO on the PCT and went down Marion Mtn trail. Back to the truck around 8pm with the last mile or so in the dark.  Long and challenging day as I continue training for the JMT this summer.
