My son and I went on an 16 mile overnight trip with our hammocks up to Mt. San Jacinto, the 2nd highest peak in Southern California.
We started at the trailhead from Humber Park in Idyllwild, CA (6,581ft elevation). We went up the Devil's Slide Trail and it was 90 degrees and a hot 4.5 mile hike until we hit about 9000ft. The higher we got the cooler it got. We camped overnight along the PCT. We were rewarded with views of Palm Springs and stars in the desert sky. The next morning we packed up and hiked up to the summit at 10,834 ft. After enjoying the views from the summit, we hiked the 8 miles back down the mountain back to Humber Park. It was a great father son trip on a Father's Day weekend. I hope you enjoy the video. Video's never do it justice. You'd have to be there yourself.
