We took advantage of Ben's 4-day weekend and made the trek up to Palm Springs to hike San Jacinto. This was Ben's 4th time hiking it and my second. However, this was the first time we took the tram up part of the mountain. This is how I felt about it:
Gondola ride? Sure. I can handle that. Giant gondola crammed full of people and TURNS the entire time? No thank you. But I made it! And being in the pine trees pretty much immediately makes it worth it.
Ben always has the best hiking snacks. He found these protein balls that taste like mini Paydays. Yum!
This hike was much easier than the first time and about half the distance. And guess what? I could see the view at the top! Last time it was completely clouded over, so much so that I could barely see this sign.
Hiking is still a whole different workout and I was pretty tired by the time we were done with the 7.5 miles. These tacos hit the spot at the end of the day.
