2014/07 Mount San Jacinto State Park

To celebrate Ryan's birthday this year we decided to go backpacking in Mount San Jacinto State Park. We left on Thursday afternoon, took the tram up to the top, and made it to a campsite in Tamarack Valley just as it was getting dark out. We spent the next day leisurely hiking around the southern loop past Strawberry Junction and over to a campsite in Little Round Valley. We woke up to dark skies on the third day, and we had a bit of rain on our way back to the tram. We then treated ourself to a night at a hotel in Palm Springs before heading back home.
