Got this inquiry from Craig via email:
I’m going to be visiting my mother in-law in palm desert. I want to take a good maybe multi-day hike somewhere in the Santa Rosa-San Jacinto mtns. any suggestions?
In the San Jacinto area there’s a great network of trails with some good campsites. It’s easy to turn into a nice multi-day loop. But it also depends on the time of year and weather. It is very cold right now, and often snowy.
Here’s a short overnight trip that included a hike to the summit San Jacinto Peak.
I’ll send out a tweet and see if anyone else has suggestions, but until then, maybe let me know if you’re looking for winter-conditions or coming up in the summer.
Taking the Devil’s Slide trail from Idyllwild to Caramba overlook is a nice overnight trip. (Permit required). Devil’s Slide quickly gains elevation. Caramba gives a nice view of Palm Springs. Monitor weather forecasts and be prepared for the possibility of snow this time of year. Just an FYI, a fire swept through the area in July 2013 started by lightning. I’m not sure how much the area has changed.
