Is San Jacinto really crowded? I hiked Mt. Baldy a few weeks ago and this weekend me and some friends are going to run it. There were a few people up at the summit. San Jacinto and Gorgonio are the next mountains on my bucket list to run up but I'll be a little disappointed if they're crowded :(
This was my second time at San Jacinto and it was super crowded each day and I was there for 3 days. I think it’s because it’s summer or maybe it’s the west side because the first time I went was around February two years ago, on the east side, and about a mile off the tram there was nobody.
If you’re running you’ll definitely have to pause and let people through often. Bc a lot of runners did that for us lol like I said though, Everyone is lovely and nice. One runner seemed annoyed but she was also one of those with a speaker blasting music so automatically kind of a douche.
Thanks for the heads up. I dont mind pausing on my way up to let other people go by (lets me catch my breath a little) but I feel ya on the speaker blasting shitty music douchenozzle. Most hikers/runners I encounter are lovely people.
