San Jacinto from tramway, 6/29

[Florian]

Enjoyed a very nice hike from the tram to San Jacinto and back today. Trails were quiet and i didn't see anyone at all until i was heading back down. It's great having the peak all to yourself! Got to the peak in 1 hour 50 minutes. Actually took me a few minutes longer coming back down. Bit of light rain sprinkles on the way down near Round Valley.

I wanted to go up today but just couldn't quite make it. Glad someone got to enjoy it.

nice photos, the color up there is always so much nicer than down here.

Dang - 1:50!
The one and only time I did that it took me 3:50 tram to summit.
I did stop a bit at Wellman's Divide and at the hut, but dang!
Were you running?

Were you running?

No, i don't run. Just a steady hiking pace. I was trying to get to the peak before noon but with the late 10am weekday tramcar i got to peak at 12:06pm.
