Our Day At Mount San Jacinto

Saturday, we decided to have an outing day and went to Mount San Jacinto.
Because all the rain we've been having the mountains were nice and green. But once we got to Palm Spings the moutains were very rocky and dry.
It was a little more than a hour drive from Temecula to Palm Springs.

This Arial Tramway is what takes people up the mountain. The trip up is about 10 minutes.

Waiting for our time call to take the tramway up.
It was in the 70s down here. We almost wanted to take off our coats.

When we first got up there, we started on the hike but there was a snow storm with strong freezing winds. So we went back into the lodge until the storm passed.
(If we had gloves and Gordon a hat, we probably would have tryed the hike in the storm)

Spectacular views from up there! A view down to Palm Springs on one side.
A veiw of great mountiains full of trees and snow on the other side.

After the storm was over we decided to take a hike down the trail. It was still very cold but at least it was not snowy and windy any more. My hands got very cold, they froze. But other than that it was a very fun hike. There was lots of snow, rocks and trees.

Lots of inches of snow here. Here we are at a picnic area. Gordon is standing on a picnic table. They were all almost completelly covered with snow. I am glad we did not bring a picnic lunch:-)

I was very happy here because I LOVE TREES!
A tree forest! Lots of trees here!

After a fun day in the snow, we went down to Palm Springs and ate at a really good Indian restaurant THE GREAT DELHI PALACE. If you like indian food, we highly recommend it.
