Devils Slide to Tahquitz

Postby Ulysses » Sun Oct 13, 2013 5:09 pm

Hiked up Devils Slide and over to Tahquitz Peak today. I was surprised by the amount of snow and ice on the trail. 75% coverage at Saddle Junction and pretty much 100% coverage on the trail from the PCT over to Tahquitz. Kinda sketchy in a few places. Did it in trail runners but micro spikes would have been nice.

Think we met a few weeks ago on deer springs....almost was going to go yesterday, but now im glad i didnt. Not enough experience. Although john muir did his walk abouts with nails hanging out of the bottom of his shoes...lol :wink: hopefully next weekend will be better for novices like me.

Hey Brad. The conditions were beautiful. Great hiking weather. I suspect most of the snow will be gone after the warmer weather this week.

Agreed, way more snow than I anticipated, but it was really fun. Beautiful day on Sat. Anybody else see that glider cruising around? Looked like a helluva time
