Today was a big day of climbing. Idyllwild is at ~5500′ and I pretty much climbed all morning to top out on Mt San Jacinto at 10,800′.
Morning light on Tahquitz Peak

First snow of the trip ~9000′
North facing slope with lots of snow.

Mt. San Jacinto… the highest Peak in Southern California
Definitely snow on the trail !
First real water crossing.
Camped among the Manzanita on Fuller Ridge. I’m so ready for bed!
