This discovery hike will be an exploration beyond the normal confines of the trail on a moderately strenuous hike in the San Jacinto Wilderness. There will be some deviation from the trail to “discover” locations not typically seen by the average day hiker. We will explore Tamarack Valley, Yale Peak and Shangri-La areas.
