Hi! Planning my first hike in the area from Jan 31st to Feb 4th. Curious on the 1) trail conditions and standing snow/ice, and 2) available water to filter. I'm keeping an eye on weather and precipitation, but would appreciate any direct knowledge.
Planned Route:
Day 1: South Ridge trailhead to Tahquitz Peak to Saddle Junction
Day 2: Saddle Junction to Desert View to Round Valley campground
Day 3: Round Valley back to Saddle Junction via a more westwardly route
Day 4: Saddle Junction back to South Ridge trailhead via Ernie Maxwell trail
Obviously not big miles, but mainly want to see the area and relax in nature.
Thank you.
