THE TRAIL
Pacific Crest Trail/Snow Creek is area of open desert set against the massive shear face of Mount San Jacinto. The trail is in good shape and the views are outstanding.
So many people hike the Lykken Trail, but few hike the Pacific Crest Trail in Snow Creek. It is easy to say that if you have hiked the Lykken Trail in Palm Springs you could hike this portion of the Snow Creek for a distance. We are not scaling the mountain, but we will do a portion of the trail that will takes us 1200ft in elevation gain and we will in round trip cover 7 miles.
This trail is rated moderate- moderate meaning that you have hiked Lykken, Bump and Grind, and or a portion of the Art Smith and found these not easy but at the same time you could complete the trail length without feeling like would just give up at some point.
7 Miles There and Back to Car. 1200 ft elevation gain and drop
Hike rating Moderate Trail is about 4 hours in and out (for our portion) add snack break time.
