The hike  is on Sunday, as is the trail work project.  There's also a ride on 
the  Palm Springs Tram up to the top of Jacinto I've heard it's spectacular.  
 Saturday, April 1 (all day) will be the trail classes and vendor fair.

I have hiked, backpacked, snow shoed all round the Mountain. Here are some  
nice hikes

purchased at top of Tram.






San  Jacinto Peak (The Hard Way) 
Know as the Cactus to the Clouds hike. Greatest elevation gain of any  hike 
in the lower 48, 20 miles 10,600 gain/2500 loss, 9000 feet in 4 horizontal  
miles.  Best time May thru June. Can  be over 100 degrees. Start around 4:00 AM 
San  Jacinto Peak (The Easy Way) 
Take Palm  Springs Aerial Tramway (619 325 1391) Ticket is good for  round 
trip. Restaurant at top. Pick up pass at Ranger Hut follow trail to  Round 
Valley to Wellman Divide 5.8 miles Then just  about a 2.7 mi to Jacinto Peak. John 
Muir said it?s the greatest  sublime spectacle view anywhere on earth.
