| Beautiful winter hike. Hard to believe its so close to the city. Did it numerous times and ways when I lived in S Cal and never got tired of it. | |

| MValentine | Another Trip up San Jacinto Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2012 | |
| Took the easy way up this time on the tram, as always San Jacinto didn't disappoint. Avoided some of the tram traffic by taking the old boy scout trail rather then the main trail. But on the way back down we took the main trail to round valley stopping at Wellman's divide since this was my boyfriends first time climbing San Jacinto. Great views, great weather, and both my boyfriend and I were happy to escape the heat of the desert for the day! | |

| Wild | Nice snow Date Climbed: Dec 29, 2009 | |
| The rocky and snowy peaks towering high above the desert floor looked amazing, nice solid snow, great temperature, very fun to crampon, and even saw a rescue helicopter scoping out the area. Left Upper Tram in the morning and had a blast while cross-country snow climbing to the top of Jean Peak and San Jacinto Peak. Spent the night in the valley unexpectedly, and hiked back to tram next morning. | |

| farrisgl | Our favorite Winter Backpack Training Venue Date Climbed: Feb 4, 2009 | |
| We conduct our annual BSA winter camp backpack training here every year. This year was our 6 year of using this site. Easy hike in and out. Snow can be either extremely deep (2004), or almost none (2006). This year between 3 and 4 feet of snow on the ground and snowed most of the weekend. Also cold at night at 15 degrees. I have also hiked in to Round Valley from Humber Park during the spring. | |

| asmrz | Fxxxxng foreigners!! Date Climbed: Feb 19, 1981 | |
| Miguel Carmona and I took the tram up in Februray 1981 and confirming there really was a snow up there, we put our skis on and skied up to the peak. About a mile up and before Round Valley, a ranger was struggling toward us in the deep snow. We didn't have a permit, so a quick scheme had to be developed. Since Miguel speak Catalan and I speak Czech, I asked him to just say anything in his language and I will respond in mine. The ranger couldn't wait to ask us for a permit and when he did, we started to talk over each other in two different languages. I remember the ranger asking us a couple of times, then in total frustration cussing us with "Fuxxxng foreigners" and leaving us be. We laughed all the way to the summit... | |

| Each time combined with Cornell. I swore I'd never do Cornell again because of all the manzantita brush. We'll see. | |

| theronmoon | 1st time Date Climbed: Oct 30, 1993 | |
| First time was a long time ago. It may be the easy route, but it is also one of the most classic hiking paths in Southern California. One of the few trails I feel truely home on. | |
