San Jacinto Peak via Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, Round Valley Trail and Peak Trail
The hike to San Jacinto Peak is a stunning journey through diverse landscapes, starting with a steep ascent that transitions into tranquil alpine meadows. As you make your way through Round Valley and past Wellman Divide, the trail gradually opens to reveal expansive views of the Coachella Valley and surrounding mountain ranges. The final stretch is a rocky climb to the summit, offering panoramic vistas that extend to the desert below and, on clear days, the Pacific Ocean, making the trek both challenging and deeply rewarding. #Hiking #Mountain #Forest #Nature #Overlook
