What A Beast!It's not easy during winter but will be much easier if you use the tram. Cactus to Clouds should only be done by advanced hikers.

Somewhat interesting adventureTook the tram up in the afternoon, signed the register in the hut, and saw an awesome sunset and mountain shadow from the peak. Hurried down after that, got lost in the dark, and barely made it back before the last tram down.

From Tram stationSomething different from Colorado, perspective of this mountain is amazing from Palm Springs. You can spend days hiking this mountain by different routes. Beautiful views from the summit.

Marion Mountain TrailTook a solid 4.5 hours to attain the summit, although I missed the intersection where the trail goes left and continued straight up towards Marion for a bit. Two helpful chaps let me know I was off the trail I wanted so with a bit of bushwhacking I corrected my path but that did waste some time. Six inches of snow at the TH and considerably more on top, but four or five people had broken trail to the final junction .3 miles from the summit. I gave my headlamp to two much younger hikers who really wanted to go for it, but were only going to get back to Round Valley CG before full dark.

My Wife's First Summit!!Camped at Strawberry and circumnavigated the peak the following day. The wife got a bit of altitude sickness, but enjoyed the trip nonetheless. I have to say I was impressed with the variety of scenery and the prominence of the peak over Palm Springs. I usually have to drive much farther than 2 hours to find alpine scenery, but Jacinto delivered!

Cactus to Clouds (Outlaw Trail)Exciting hiking in varied terrain, from desert to alpine, phenomenal views throughout. Started at 2:45am, summited at 2:45pm totally exhausted and happy to have no more uphill. Took a well deserved tram ride down. Shoutout to my Aunt for getting this stellar, test-piece of a hike nicknamed after her!

Fuller Ridge to San Jacinto PeakA prominent ridge with beautiful views the whole way. Mostly gradual incline, sustained over a solid amount of mileage. Very well maintained trail, highly recommend

From tramTook tram up in the AM - hiked most of the afternoon up to the peak and back. Still plenty of snow from Round Valley to Wellman's Divide. Great hike & summit area is sweet.

Humber Park (no snow)Long day, high winds at summit. Beautiful sunset coming down

Long hike from Humber ParkThis was my birthday. I decided to take some time for myself. I was strong from commuting daily on by bicycle (25 mile round trip), which I had become accustomed to for the past several years. On that day I drove from LA to Humber Park above Idlewild and hiked quickly to the summit and back to the car (15.3 miles, 4806 ft elevation gain), and drove back home.

CA County HP #30Long anticipated summit, lived up to its expectations. Via Round Valley since I didn't have time for Snow Creek or CtC.

Seizing the dayMyself and 2 coworkers went up the tramway and then hiked up to the peak. What an incredible hike! Beautiful views at every turn, and a nice, easy trail to the summit. The elevation gain of 2,400 feet was spread fairly evenly across 5 + miles of trail. Trail markers are not the most accurate. Maps say 5.8 miles from the tramway to the summit, trail markers say 5.5, and my Garmin says 5.15.

Finally did this oneThis peak was on my list for a long while. Took the tram up and then hiked to/from without a hitch.
There were *many* people at the summit on a weekend. Yeesh. Views from the top were as expected, but it was unreal to see ranges all the way to the Mexican border from a stretch of the trail just below.

Re: round valleyHard to "preserve the wilderness experience" when the summit is absolutely swarming with people!
