Easy getaway from 90+ Palm Springs temperatures and exchanged them for low 50's on top of Mount San Jacinto at 8500 ft. Straight out of the station we did a three mile round trip hike along the streams and snow covered notches with overviews of the Coachella Valley below. Interesting gap in the mountains creates a wind tunnel with thousands of wind turbines spinning as far as the eye can see. The flow of heavy haze and pollution from the Los Angeles area also billows through the gap in the mountains and is evidence of the teeming west coast masses out of control lifestyles!
