Description

This is a great introductory hike into the San Jacinto Wilderness, with spectacular views of both Tahquitz (also known as Lily) and Suicide Rocks. Both these spectacular granite formations are popular rock climbing destinations. The trail moves steadily up 1700 feet over moderate switchbacks and a mostly pine shaded trail. The trail levels out near the top as you enter into Saddle Junction, a gateway leading to many other trails in this lovely wilderness area.
