| Penelope and I decided to test our hot weather hiking skills by hiking the Fuller Ridge yesterday July 5th, 2007. It was an extremely hot day (102 degrees) in Idyllwild but higher up, the conditions were almost reasonable. We drank about 4 quarts of water each and actually enjoyed the trip. The Fuller Ridge (in our opinion) is the best, hardest and most scenic of the four hikes starting in or close to Idyllwild ( Marion Mtn Trail, Dear Springs Trail and San Jac via Wellman Devide). The views of the North Face of San Jac are awesome and although the route has several steep uphill sections in both directions, it is a beautiful hike. We saw no one. |
