| missymtngirl | made it on the second attempt......but crashed out on the rocks at the top | |
| Tried to summit this during the winter...and passed a ranger with a baklava on his face....wait that's a dessert. You know what I mean a special scarf covering his face. It was then I realized I was a little in over my head. Second times a charm!!! Years Climbed: 2007,2008 | |

| Climbed San Jacinto Peak multiple times in all seasons by various routes (from Idyllwild, tram, Snow Creek etc.) in 2003-2007. Beautiful mountain, great views (sometimes you can even see the ocean)! | |

| youngsterOC | nice hike Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2009 | |
| Nice hike, took the Round Valley route. Pretty hot temps near the base, but the top was very comfortable. Got buzzed by a ultralight plane at the peak, very cool! | |

| mccarthypj | Seven Pine Trail Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2009 | |
| I set up camp in Dark Valley on the Idyllwild side with my wife the day before. We drove around and took the tram up. After strolling the desert view trail with my wife I climbed the peak then hiked the nine miles back to camp while she drove back around. The 3.8 miles of the Seven Pine Trail was brutal on my feet and knees. Just too steep of a downhill for the end of a long day. | ||

| This was the mountain of my youth. Growing up in SD, I came up here and to Tahquitz many times. Good memories. | |

| Diggler | brutal... Date Climbed: May 30, 2009 | |
| Faith & I started at the museum at 6.26- in retrospect, given the time of year (one of the longer days), earlier would have been greatly preferable... Our attempts throughout the day to 'beat the heat' by gaining elevation more rapidly than the escalating temperature proved futile until around 6,000', where the temp's were finally tolerable. It was probably worst around 4k', where the desert brush does a great job of retaining the heat while not providing any notable shade. The average temperature during the day felt somewhere between 85 - 90 deg. Ugh... Fortunately we brought enough water, & eventually made it to the tram (we popped up on the 'rim' at 15.39). By that point we were completely wasted, though (amazing how the combination of sun/heat can just completely take it out of you...), & the combination of that & fear we would be pushing it (esp. at our pace at that point) making it back to the last tram in time just led us to the tram down. Actually I think we were both of the opinion that a cold beer & tram ride down sounded substantially more appealing than continuing. This must be done proper, though (i.e. to the summit)- I shall return! | |

| Steve1215 | Snow Creek--back in the day Date Climbed: May 19, 1978 | |
| To mark the 77th anniversary of Snow Creek's first ascent...I am formally signing this log. My brother and I climbed this when we were teen-agers, back in 1978. The DWA sent us a nice letter of permission to cross over their property. Very uneventful...except we almost fell through a thin snow crust to be sucked to our deaths inside dark ice caves, where Snow Creek was actually a sub-terranean torrent of raging ice water. Arrived on top at 6:30pm and slept in the hut. Also got a terrible sunburn that day. Dumb teen-agers don't always know about wearing sunscreen. --Steve | |

| LuisGijon | Snow Creek & Marion Mountain trail Date Climbed: Apr 11, 2009 | |
| Second ascent in two weeks. 4/11 climbed Snow Creek with Miguel, Will, Bob, Cory, Charles, Tom, Edu, and Alexader. Great sunny day. Windy and freezing cold arriving to the summit. 4/5 skied up with Scott via the Marion Mountain trail. A lot of route finding, and too many trees cut that make slower the hike. Fun to ski though. | |

| Nick Comer | From the Tram Date Climbed: Oct 12, 2008 | |
| From the tram with a group of 8. I hiked too quickly and the altitude got to me, I received a pounding headache and nausea. Made it to summit and descended via tram and was well within 10 minutes. Great views! | |
