San Jacinto Peak -> Pacific Crest Trail -> Snow Canyon

Postby nobohiker » Sun Mar 30, 2014 4:57 pm

Sharing pictures and videos of my Friday to Sunday trip from the Tram -> San Jacinto Peak -> Pacific Crest Trail -> Snow Canyon, 30 Miles total.
Watching the sunset and the sunrise from the peak was amazing. Early spring is a great time of the year to head up there!

Thanks for reading my post

Hi nobohiker,
"Liked" your video a lot! It looked like one of those magical moments to catch the sunrise and sunset from the peak. I loved looking down at the clouds and seeing the shadow of the mountain cast below. That's a long, beautiful hike. Great job!

@Sally, you found the right word - its definitively a magic moment to be up there at sunrise/sunset, especialy when no one else is around.

@bamm321, I'm still undecided if sunset or sunrise was my favorite part ;-)

Nice Video. I have not been there for over 30 years. Will return next month with my son, He said he wanted to try it so what the heck. He is 26 and I was 26 when I was last there!

South Ridge Trail conditions

I'm planning to hike the South Ridge trail via Wellman Divide to San Jacinto peak tomorrow. Does this route go thru areas that burned last year? Thanks.

Hi Tannikae, I have done South Ridge Trail to San J Peak, and it is a long ambitious hike! And a beautiful one at that! I haven't been up South Ridge since the fire, and although you may see evidence of the fire from some of the views, I don't think the route actually goes through any burn areas.

Get an early start and enjoy!

(I believe I wrote a trip report with a link to my pics on Picasa. It's been a few years)

Sally, thanks so much for the trail report and great pics! Conditions tomorrow may be similar to your hike as it looks like I might get a little rain or snow in the morning. Happy hiking, Tannika
