Mt. San Jacinto Outdoor Recreation

John and I bushwacked ourselves up George Creek to climb Mt. Barnard (13,990', GPS showed 14,006' hmmm) and Trojan Peak (13,950').

Thanks for sharing. I cant believe so little snow in Mid May.

Nice stuff, CC! GPS elevations are notoriously inaccurate, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. GPS is good for horizontal positioning, but not so much for vertical.

I'm with you, Cy. It's weird to see so little snow. It looks like July.

Wow! I especially like your shots of the early morning light and the Great Western Divide. Looks like a great trip!
