Ran up on a great day!
Ran up the Cactus to Clouds route from the North Lykken/Ramon Street trailhead. It was a really nice day, albeit a bit hot with some serious wind below 4000 feet. I hit a bit of snow above 6500 feet, but it was never terrible. I probably should've put IceSpikes on, but didn't. I didn't go real hard and made it to the tram in about 3 hours and 20 minutes of running time. I ate lunch and waited there for my wife to get up the tram and join me and then the two of us went the rest of the way to the summit. It was quite windy and cold on top, but beautiful! We made it round trip in about 2:20. Amazing experience.
Once via Cactus to Clouds from the Art Museum, and twice from Mountain Station. One of my favorite mountains.

Countless visits, just one sign-in
I've done this peak too many times to even count but I better sign it in just once. Summit registers shouldn't be this easy to reach :) Love this peak, trying not to wear it out. Favorite route is via Fuller Ridge since you can see your destination most of the way and its a ridge.
one of the most grueling climbs ive ever done. the rocks that say 4300 ft were extremely demoralizing,but the summit views are to die for. took the tram back down and im not ashamed

Via Marion Mtn.
Pretty easy climb over all. There was a small amount of snow covering portions of the trail at higher elevations. The road up to the trail head is in poor condition but still made it up there in my car. One bummer was that someone had stolen the sign from the summit.

I got my twin brother to join me on another South Cal ultra. I wish there was snow it was just soo dry. I should probably aim for spring on the next one.

Great view!
Stayed in Round Valley two nights, summitted on our layover day - highly recommend spending time on the mountain like this, it's gorgeous and peaceful at night. Not too many people hike during the week, so we often had the trail to ourselves. The climb was fun and the view spectacular!

Round Valley
Used tram. Nice forest and boulder hike to summit. Trail seems too flat in places. Some of the signage confusing, especially at Wellman Divide. A sign at the divide seemed to point down the trail to Humber for "Wellman Divide". Most prominent peak I've visited to date.

Hike from Idyllwild
Hiked up and down from Idyllwild via Deer Springs trail. Trail was free of snow all the way to summit. Summit was relatively warm, but hazy. Saw / met a few PCT thru hikers coming through ahead of the pack.

After Conference Hike
Was at a conference in Palm Springs, got out before lunch and took the tram up, hiked Miller Peak, San Jacinto Peak and Jean Peak, hardly any snow except on the offtrail descent from Jean back down to the regular trail. Got back down from the tram by 6 PM and was home in Tracy a bit after midnight. Trip report is HERE.

Cactus to Clouds
Third time at the peak, but the first time from the desert floor. Having done the hike from Idlywild many years ago, I would definately say that is the most seanic of the routes. However, if you want a challange and a check mark for tough trails, then C to C is the way to go. Just make certain you know the weather before commencing.

First hike in a long time. Started at museum trail at 4 a.m. and hit the peak around 3 p.m. Had a few leisurely stops but definitely worth it! Views from the top were spectacular.
