Mt. San Jacinto Peak from Humber Park

The route starts at the Humber Park (elev. 6,433 ft.). From there, the Devil's Slide Trail leads to the Saddle Junction (elev. 8,087 ft.) through a light forest; the trail is well maintained with a reasonably steep incline and provides breathtaking views of both the Tahquitz/Lily Rock above and the Suicide Rock across the valley. From there, take a left; after an estimated 1.54 mi you'll come to the PCT junction (elev. 8,995 ft). There is a slight downhill after that for about half a mile, followed by another 1.1 mi climb to the Wellman Divide (elev. 9,700 ft., here the route merges with the Cactus to Clouds Route). The sign at Wellman Divide indicates 2.7 mi to the Mt. San Jacinto peak, but GPS suggests it's no more than 2.4 mi. The next 2.1 mi to the San Jacinto Peak Loop junction (elev. 10,410 ft.) are a steep climb with lots of granite boulders; you can see the Palm Springs Tramway Station from this segment of the route. The last 0.3 mi to the Mt. San Jacinto Summit (elev. ~10,800 ft.) are similar terrain except for the very final hundred feet or so, you'll have to use your hands on those. The views from the summit are breathtaking.
