Hiking on Feb 21 or 22?

Howdy All :-)

Where are people planning on hiking this weekend? I am happy to do San Jacinto, Jean or Miller again with snowshoes in the new snow. It looks like the weather this weekend will be fabulous.

The pct remains invitng (to some, such as myself) and closeby. I try to maintian a ratio of time in car to time on the trail that is heavily skewed towards the trail time. I have slightly less than 30 minutes travel time lost for the nearby pct, so I do it a lot. Skyline adds about 15, and the San G snow adventures add more thant that. It would be all too easy to spend 3 hours getting in position to begin a 2 hour run - this is why I may seem repetitive on certain runs.

Does anybody else run into time constraints as an obstacle? I see lots of posts of all day adventures, and I wish I could squeeze in that amount of time.

Anyway, if anybody is looking to do a run with medium speed out through the trails of Whitewater, Cottonwood or Snowcreek, and we hook up, I bet it would be some fun out there together. Even if we just cross paths, it's always good seeing friends out on the trail.

Looks like I'll be snow shoeing on the San Bernardino Peak trail this Saturday with Lance.

Howdy Z,

I understand and appreciate the time commitment issues with day hikes. I definately want to do some desert hikes (haven't done any hiking in the desert except Skyline) and hope to "hook up" with you on a desert trail soon.
