[BULK] - [pct-l] Best So Cal Hike in July



Check out:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/so_california_backpackers/

As for REALLY good SoCal hikes in July, well...This July I expect to
find water flowing in all the known places (and some surprise locations
as well!).

My favorites:

The basin above Idyllwild. Hit the San Jac Peak, See the view over Palm
Springs at Hidden Lake/Desert View, Check out the falls at Caramba,
relax in Round Valley (pit toilets, Ranger Hut and amphitheater with
nightly campfire programs!). Access from Idyllwild via The Slide Trail,
or from Palm Springs via the tramway (a great experience if you haven't
had a ride on the tram yet!).

San Gorgonio Wilderness. Hit the highest peak in SoCal- San G at 11.5k.
Walk the ridge along the San Bernardino Divide trail (three fairly
dependable springs at 10k) and enjoy the views over Big Bear and out to
the High Desert as well as the views out to the Pacific (and Downtown LA
on a clear day). Access from several fine trails from easy to steep
(Vivian Trail).

Quick trips:
San Mateo Wilderness
Cucamonga Wilderness
Cuyamaca/Palomar

Options abound.

Ya, I know it sounds crazy to hike in So Cal in July but thats where I
live and the time I have. What is my best option for a section of the
PCT? I was thinking Wrightwood to Agua Dulce. Eazy access from LA and
populated camping which means WATER I hope. But I dont know. Is there
water there in July? Thats my biggest concern.
