Caramba is awesome right now! It's one of my favorite upper tram hikes and now the waterfalls are powerful and the ponds and pools are brimming over.

I have some pics of Caramba and Sam Fink Peak:

Great Pictures. What are the trail conditions from the Tram to Caramba? I am going up there Memorial Day weekend.

Nice! I think Caramba is the great under-appreciated treasure of the San Jacintos. Not much traffic, but very worthwhile.

Hi Kurt,

The trail conditions are clear. There is no snow. I think this weekend should be great and the pools will still be really full.

Have fun!


I agree with you Jim. Caramba is so cool and well worth seeing. It's a tough hike for me though, probably because it's a reverse hike.
