San Jacinto is quite a dry mountain. With the recent drought years there were very limited water sources available. So it was great to see all kinds of flowing surface water. We chose 7 Pines trail for it’s solitude and streams on the lower 3.5 miles before it meets up with the Deer Springs \/ PCT trail. 7 Pines should only be attempted by someone with trail finding experience and navigation aides like map\/compass\/GPS. The trail is not maintained and in places hard to find. Especially this year with lots of dead fall and big snow patches above 8000ft.<\/p>\n

As it is still peak PCT through hiker season we met quite a number of hikers with big packs. Some had chosen the detour over the peak.<\/p>\n

The “excessive” \ud83d\ude09 number of creek\/water pics in the gallery is probably best appreciated by someone familiar with the mountain in a normal year.<\/p>\n
