Mount San Jacinto Tram Snow Backpacking GoPro HD

Todd and I rode the Palm Springs Tram up to Mt San Jacinto State Park to go backpacking, and snowshoed into our base camp, then climbed a nearby peak for sunset.

Man, I would have brought skis

@daryandude haha, yeah, we were talking about that the whole time! Really though, the snow was icy and chunky, not the best conditions for it.

I don't know what I loved more -- San Jac, the GoPro, or the guitar solo from 3:04 - 4:06! I'm going with the guitar solo by the SLIMMEST of margins. Wow that was intense.

@thephotomatt haha, yeah, thanks!!

what peak did you climb to?

[WingEnvy]

@xdcigtx not sure to be honest

@xdcigtx I think maybe its Cornell peak, it might be the real sharp tooth looking peak that you see when your around round valley. Its on the north ridge of the mountain, just east of San Jacinto peak

@lbpowguy No, I would say snow is up at the tram area November to April??? Not sure, but it gets pretty hot up there in summer, Ive also hiked to the peak early spring/summer in complete snow with shorts on 70 degree weather no wind, sunner hot day in the snow. In summer it takes about 5-6 hours of good hiking time to go to the peak and back. Awesome views for southern California

[lbpowguy]

is there snow up there all year?

@Murmur2k thanks. Haha, It was blowing 30 up there...I was wishing I had a speedglider with me though!!
