<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on the trail after sitting out two days of rain and hail in Idyllwild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal for the next 3 to 4 days is to get over Mount San Jicinto.
Until Sunday there was no snow on the mountain, but there is now. At least two days before I have to encounter that ice and snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing really tough about this hike. It\u2019s just took some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only complicated part was at the end of the day. I was looking for a good campsite and did some bush whacking trying to find a good view of the sunset and\/or the sunrise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did find one (see tomorrow\u2019s pictures for the sunrise),, but it was more effort than I think I should\u2019ve used. But good sunset nighttime view of Palm Springs from above, and the sunrise in the morning was nice too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
