***Mandatory preparation for Sierra Trek***

This will be an excellent high-altitude adventure and a great work-up for The Yosemite
trek. Backpackers will be treated to spectacular views and varied terrain throughout the San Jacinto
Wilderness. On Friday, we will drive to Palm Springs and take the impressive tram up the mountain.
We’ll spend the night at Round Valley to adjust to the altitude. The next day, we will hike to the top of
San Jacinto (10,800 ft.) and then on to Strawberry Junction, covering about 9 miles. On Sunday, we’ll
hike at least 6 miles and camp in the Willow Creek area. On Monday, we’ll hike the 4 miles back to the
tram and head home. This will be a moderately strenuous route, most of it above 8000 feet. Take only
the minimum in order to keep pack weight down.
