Mt. San Jacinto – the place has the most beautiful nature among those which I visited so far in Southern California. There is a significant hike – around 6 miles but total elevation gain is not that big compared to Mt Baldy
So it starts… As always from the parking lot. One can just use aerial tramway and stay next to the upper station while enjoying the nature with kids. We (me and my friends, John and Arevik Avedian) preferred to take hike permits and start our climb to the San Jacinto Peak
This is a view from aerial tramway that brings you from the hot desert of Palm Springs to relaxing breezy environment of San Jacinto wilderness
On the way to the top of San Jacinto
Still on the way to the top. Just cant pass this nice rocks without asking John to make a picture of me in front of them.
At the top with John and Arevik. I have to say that these guys are most determined peak conquerors from people I know in LA area so far.
A little bit tired but happy. Waiting for the cable car to come and take us back to the car. You can see it coming at the background.
