The San Jacinto Wilderness is one of a kind. At an elevation of 10,834 feet, San Jacinto Peak towers high above the California desert. You can hike plenty of trails including a section along the long distance Pacific Crest Trail. There is an emergency hut beneath the summit and close by even a restaurant and an aerial tramway station that gets you into Palm Springs.

To camp out, you need a wilderness permit (available at Park Headquarters in Idyllwild and the Valley Ranger Station on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway side) for the area for 5 Dollars per person. If you have a longdistance permit for hiking the PCT, you do not have to obtain an additional permit. Here is some more information on that: parks.ca.gov/?page_id=636
