I’ve hiked up Devil’s Slide before, but this was my first time taking the PCT section up to Wellman’s Divide and on to the summit of Mount San Jacinto.
This was a solo hike, my fourth peak in this year’s Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge, and the first of three peaks I planned to bag in three consecutive days.
This trail is beautiful! The views of Suicide Rock and Taquitz Rock were phenomenal, and a blanket of clouds filled the skies below. At the summit, I met a fellow challenger who came up from the Marion Mountain trailhead.
I highly recommend this route. It was a total of about 15 miles, but very picturesque. And there was water available at Wellman’s Cienega!
