San Jacinto summit

The view was worth the extra 2.5 miles for Kristi, Lindsay and Ryan. They took the official alternate PCT route to summit San Jacinto Peak at 10834 ft.

We got a late start out of Idyllwild and had to climb Devil's Slide in the afternoon heat. An absolutely amazing Mother's Day breakfast at The Red Kettle made hiking up the hill from Hell well worth the wait. We decided to only hike a couple miles past Devil's Slide for the night so that we could sunrise summit Mt San Jacinto. The views on the way up and the view from the top were some of the best that we have seen the entire trip!
