Tag: Mount San Jacinto

Started at 6:30 am on a super hot day. There were bugs down at the bottom, but it got better as you go to a…

It is getting hot, even at elevation. A gorgeous  but challenging hike, partially because the Marion Trail is steep, and not well engineered; I think…

Great views today atop Mt. San Jacinto. My GPS said 14 miles! This completes my six pack of peaks but I’m going for more!

Long but lovely hike. Trail was in good condition. Lots of fresh water running right now.

Fourth hike for me and I think because of the 4th of July weekend I was dehydrated from drinking alcohol over the weekend. I regret…

One of the most challenging hikes I’ve done but it felt great to do it! The beginning and end to the peak were quite steep.…

Loved it

Hiked all night for the sunrise! 😍

I was expecting this to be an easier hike than #4 San Bernardino, but with the same elevation gain and shorter distance, it proved to…

Love my weekday hikes to summit!  Long and strenuous.  I’ve taken tram to summit a few times, but finally completed this route after my 1st…

I decided to book a small airbnb cabin in Idlyllwild, since I didn’t want to spend almost 5 hours total travel time to and from…

Warm day but overall great hike. Very buggy though, I’d recommend bug spray. Pretty trail with lots of water.

Tough long hike, 19.1 miles. San Jacinto Peak Loop Trail.

This 3-day trek was easily one of the most memorable experiences of my life. A total of 5 people, the crew was formed by friends…

Really pretty trail and it was longer than AllTrails shows

Had the greatest time on our first summit of the challenge. Hard trail, but doable!

That was a beautiful, epic and intense hike. Very steady climb the whole way up so be ready for a burner. The views and lush…

Those 19.1 miles felt like 40!! It was hot and the bugs were on me like white on rice, lol

Hike definitely starts out hard, would recommend some navigation and map because trail is hard to follow in a couple spots, gps was also spotty…

Beautiful but tough hike…

This was my 3rd time to summit San Jacinto and by far my favorite. I really took the time to enjoy the views, flowers and…

Perfect weather hiking Mount San Jacinto Peak on Saturday with my Trail Sisters friends. There were some snow on the way up to the summit.…

Perfect weather, brisk with light breezes throughout the hike. Snow patches part Wellman’s Decide, but easy to navigate around.  Snow drifts at the top but…

It was sunny and beautiful the entire hike. Patches of snow only toward the summit. We started around 10:30 a.m. and were back at our…

A fair amount of snow covering the trail at higher elevations requiring route finding abilities.  Fun but exhausting.

tough climb. Lots of elevation gain. Water sources were plentiful.  Snow at around 9000 ft. Awesome views from top

This hike was way harder than it should have been. Apparently quarantine has me out of shape. I had a fun time with my friend…

This hike killed me! Started at 2:30 am and made it to Long Valley at 12:30 pm. Rested a bit then submitted through snow at…

Beautiful hike. I underestimated the snow level. Still very snowy there that caused a lot of post-holing and made it hard to keep track of…

This hike is fun all year but I especially like to hike it when there is snow on the trail.  It was a sunny and…

Intermittent snow in the beginning, then snow covered to the top. If you do the trail, it stops at the final switchback and goes around…

Great hike ! Fresh snow made it challenging.

We followed the map listed on Alltrails. Once we got to the last set of switchbacks there was a “new trail.” The new trail climbed…

From the museum to 6k is not too difficult, from 6k to the ranger station is snowed in and there are multiple logs you have…

Insta @jjfeltis The most difficult 19.2 mile, snow covered day hike I have ever done. But the views were worth it!

Beautiful fall day and perfect hiking conditions. The trail had very few hikers. It was a wonderful day to check another peak off my list.

That was a great hike.  Started late though. The view was awesome!!

So many rocks on the trail – sore feet! Hated the bouldering at the end! Not a favorite hike.

Beautiful trail leading up, but definitely not my favorite Peak hike.  No trail whatsoever at the summit.  You have to boulder scramble up.  Cold and…
