But from the other side, via Idyllwild, the peak is a wonderful, partly cross-country outing. For those who would like a bit more challenge, you might try the following:
Drive to Marion Mountain TH. Hike the Marion Trail past Fuller Ridge Trail marker and go past it for about 1 mile or little less. Locate the first major stream coming down from Jean Peak. Go up the steep north side of the peak all the way to the summit of Jean.
The GPS readings for this are as follows:
Gully by creek 9,421' 33,48.375 116,41.477
Slope half way up 10,008' 33,48.360 116,41.063
Jean summit 10,653' 33,48.372 116,40.743
