PS - Hike: Wellman Divide

This moderate+ hike covers over half of the ascent from the Tram to Mt. San Jacinto peak. Our path along the Round Valley Trail crosses and follows Long Valley Creek through the forest. Our turnaround and lunch spot at Wellman Divide offers excellent views of the northern portion of the Peninsular Range.

This hike is intended as a training hike for the tentatively planned ascent to the peak of Mt. San Jacinto later in September. Accordingly, the intended pace will be fairly brisk with minimal rest stops. Recovery during the lunch break will be leisurely.
