| asmrz | Palm Springs to Idyllwild  Date Climbed: Nov 22, 2007 | |
| Penelope May and I hiked the Cactus to Clouds trail and continued on to Idyllwild via Welman's Divide on Thanksgiving Day 2007. Took us a super long day, 6am to 9pm, but we managed the 24 miles (just barely). A great trip!! | |

| It was a long day, but we all made it to the top. Once I got up there I enjoyed a quick cat nap at the top. I tried it last August pretty unprepared, but this time I was ready and I nailed it. Great hike for those who enjoy testing themselves. | |

| Went alone. On second thought not that smart. A killer hike. | |

| Always wanted to climb a desert peak from the floor. Fantasic views right from the start (started on Ramon road). I was impressed with the eco-diversity on this trail. | |

| From the Desert museum to the Tram. Mega tough as I was coming off the flu. A memorable slog. | |

| Started at the Museum at 4:30 am with a group from outdoorsclub.org (http://www.outdoorsclub.org/PastTrip/PastTripDetail.asp?id=10407) Made it the first 8000 ft to the Tram by 9:30 am, took a long break (too long), filled out a permit and started up to the summit. Hit snow at Round Valley, started getting tough, ran into a ranger who said I needed snow shoes (of course, I had none) but I continued on. The last mile was a slog, "post holeing" through the snow. Finally summited shortly after 2:00 pm, took a more direct route back to the tram and caught the tram down. What a hike! The hardest I have ever done. Next hike, Shorty Wells to Telegraph Peak in Death Valley, even more elevation gain! | |

| Went from the Desert Museum to the top of the tram. About a 1/2 mile below the tram, I ran into Cy K. and he showed me the route at the point where you are most likely to stray off route. Then, took off from the tram towards the summit. However, after Long Valley we turned around because we did not have snowshoes and it was apparent from the snow cover that we would have been postholing the rest of the day if we continued to the summit. | |
