Mt San Jacinto in California Mt San Jacinto in California Mount San Jacinto in California Get ready for a date with the mountains. Leave the monotony of your regular life, pick up your backpack and go! Mount San Jacinto is the second highest peak in California, a two-hour drive from both Los Angeles and San Diego. Standing tall at a height of 10,834 feet above sea level, this mountain boasts of some of the varied flora and fauna found in North America. The mountain is a part of the Mount San Jacinto State Park. Get transported to your personal fairy tale as you ace the mountain's granite peaks to be the 'king of the world'. Spend an intimate time with nature gulping hot chocolate from the thermos as you brave the sub-alpine forests of the region. Traverse through the delicate fern meadows as you hear the bygone music of a distant Troubadour. With two drive-in campgrounds near the town of Idyll wild, you can enjoy your solitude, stargazing on quiet nights, or enjoying a sparkling bonfire with friends. Enter the heart of the wilderness in mountain county, as you step inside the 14,000-acre Mount San Jacinto State Park from Idyllwild or Palm Springs. Even though, Mount San Jacinto is almost 11,000 feet above sea level, there are many other peaks almost as high. So you have a list of peaks to choose from. Much of the park stands above 6,000 feet giving you the true pleasure of trekking as you explore its vast flora. With the irrigation of the Coachella Valley, green golf courses with generous agriculture has been made possible. Breathe in the greenery as you stand atop the Tramway Mountain Station, overlooking this area, called Palm Springs. Beyond Palm Springs lies a desert extending for over a hundred miles, reaching out to the southeast Salton Sea overlooking the Imperial Valley in the distance. And you can see all this beautiful expanse right from the Station. If you like steep challenges, try climbing the San Jacinto peak from the northeast. The mountain plunges down 9,000 feet in less than 4 miles, thus making it one of the steepest peaks in California. If you are feeling more adventurous than usual, hop into the Pacific Crest Trail, a scenic trail spanning over 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada, through three western states. Made with the sweat and hard work of volunteers, this trail makes a crucial stop at Mount San Jacinto. Mt San Jacinto Map Location Map of Mt. San Jacinto Mt San Jacinto Facts There are many trails in the San Jacinto trail, but the Snow Creek Route offers scenic ice and snow climbing with 9,600 feet of elevation gain. The Cactus to Clouds Trail with 10,400 feet of elevation gain is the most dangerous one with breathtaking views! Some other popular trails that you can join are Seven Pines, Fuller Ridge, Deer Springs, Marion Mountain, and the Devil's Slide. These trails are all on the Idyllwild side of Mount San Jacinto. Ranked sixth amongst peaks in the 48 contiguous states, Risher and Robinson, authors of the book, The San Jacintos say, "No Southern California hiker worth his salt would miss climbing 'San Jack' at least once." Along with Mount San Gorgonio and Mount San Antonio, Mount San Jacinto forms the 'Three Saints', a name used to describe the three tallest mountain peaks in Southern California. According to the Cahuilla Indians, the mountain was the home of Dakush, the meteor. He was also the legendary founder of the Cahuilla. The Indians call the peak, 'I a kitch' (or Aya Kaich), meaning "smooth cliffs". Where is Mt San Jacinto? Situated in Riverside County, Mount San Jacinto is at a distance of two hours from both San Diego and Los Angeles. All you need to do is take Interstate 10 East when you are on Riverside to Highway 243 South to the park. From San Diego, you should take Interstate 15 North to 215 North, then exit Highway 74 east to Highway 243 North to the park. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway will then take you from Valley Station to Mountain Station, at the border of the wilderness. Best Time To Visit Mt San Jacinto Summer sees occasional hot spells with temperatures ranging between mid-70 to low 90s. The trails are usually cool and comfortable during summer. But in the winter, the temperature drops to the mid-50s. Snowfall is common with temperatures dropping to 0 at times.

    United States Department of Native and Introduced Earthwormsfrom Agriculture Forest Service Selected Chaparral, Woodland, and Pacific Southwest Research Station Riparian Zones in Southern California General Technical Report PSW-GTR-142 Hulton B. Wood Samuel W. James Wood, Hulton B.; James, Samuel W. 1993. Native and introduced earthworms from selected chaparral, woodland, and riparian zones in southern California. Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR142. Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; 20 p. Relatively little is known about the earthworm fauna of southern California. Some 20 different species of earthworms were collected and identified in a survey of various southern California wildland habitats. The ecology and biology of earthworms are outlined, and the results of the survey are documented. Introduced species belonging to the Lumbricidae family were encountered most often; however, native species, primarily of genera Argilophilus and Diplocardia, are widely, distributed. Several of the natives collected are believed to be new species. Habitats for both the native and introduced species ranged from riparian zones to relatively dry chaparral sites. Preference of earthworms for certain types of plant communities began to emerge even in this somewhat limited survey: oak and grass being the most preferred, and conifers the least. Geographical separation of the two principal native genera occurs at about 34°N. Further research is needed relative to earthworm ecology, impacts on soils, ecosystem dynamics, and fire. An appendix includes all collection records by location, and vegetation and soil type. Retrieval terms: earthworms, Mediterranean ecosystems, southern California, new species, Lumbricidae, Megascolecidae, Acanthodrilinae, Ocnerodrilinae, Sparganophilidae, soil, habitat, chaparral, grassland, woodland, riparian, aquatic The Authors: Hulton B.

  • Natural Disasters, Past and Impending, in the Eastern San Gabriel
    April 18, 2009 Field Trip #4: Natural Hazards, Past and Impending, in the Eastern San Gabriel Mountains Jonathan A. Nourse Department of Geological Sciences California State Polytechnic University 3801 West Temple Avenue Pomona, CA 91768 Introduction The eastern San Gabriel Mountains present a spectacular outdoor laboratory for studying the causes and consequences of natural hazards that include earthquakes, floods, landslides, and fires. Since 1991 I have utilized the San Antonio Canyon region as a convenient place to educate Cal Poly Pomona students enrolled in my Natural Disasters, Engineering Geology, Structural Geology, Tectonics, Groundwater Geology and Optical Mineralogy courses. The area has also provided world-class field trip sites for the Geological Society of America, the Thomas W. Dibblee Foundation and NAGT. This guidebook includes excerpts from several previous field trip guides for which I have been principle or contributing author (Nourse, et al., 1998; Trent and Nourse, 2001; Trent et al., 2001, Nourse, 2003). The oblique aerial view of Figure 1 highlights the San Gabriel Mountains block, uplifted along the Sierra Madre-Cucamonga frontal thrust system and dissected by left-lateral and right-lateral strike slip faults. Our plan for today is to begin the trip at San Antonio Dam near the intersection of the Cucamonga, San Jose and San Antonio Canyon faults. Working our way up the Mt. Baldy Road, we shall view field evidence of floods, landslides and debris flows that have resulted from interplay between steep topography, severe weather conditions, and major earthquakes. Effects of the devastating fire of 2003 are also prominent. We will discuss impacts of the floods of 1938, 1969, and 2005 on human structures such as dams, roads and buildings.

  • Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones
    Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones APPENDIX D: Building Descriptions The purpose of the Building Descriptions is to assist the user in selecting an appropriate type of building when using the Air Conditioning estimating tools. The selected building type should be the one that most closely matches the actual project. These summaries provide the user with the inputs for the typical buildings. Minor variations from these inputs will occur based on differences in building vintage and climate zone. The Building Descriptions are referenced from the 2004-2005 Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER) Update Study. It should be noted that the user is required to provide certain inputs for the user’s specific building (e.g. actual conditioned area, city, operating hours, economy cycle, new AC system and new AC system efficiency). The remaining inputs are approximations of the building and are deemed acceptable to the user. If none of the typical building models are determined to be a fair approximation then the user has the option to use the Custom Building approach. The Custom Building option instructs the user how to initiate the Engage Software. The Engage Software is a stand-alone, DOE2 based modeling program.

  • How Sensitive Are Spatial Estimates of Wilderness Recreation Values to Information About Hiking Destinations? José J
    Journal of Forest Economics, 2020, 35: 19–41 How Sensitive are Spatial Estimates of Wilderness Recreation Values to Information about Hiking Destinations? José J. Sánchez1 , Kenneth Baerenklau2 and Armando González-Cabán1* 1USDA Forest Service, Pacifc Southwest Research Station, 4955 Canyon Crest Drive, Riverside, CA 92507, USA 2School of Public Policy, University of California, Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA ABSTRACT This study uses individual survey data to investigate the impact of information about hiking destinations on estimated wilderness values in a spatial context. The data is derived from a revealed preference survey of backcountry visitors who responded to ques- tions about their recreation behavior in the San Jacinto Wilderness of southern California. Two GIS data layers are developed showing spatial representations of non-market values derived from a Kuhn- Tucker demand model, with and without destination information. Each pixel in each data layer contains an estimate of the recreation value at that location. The destination data provides more detailed information on recreation behavior that can be used to more accu- rately allocate the landscape values. Results show that including destination information produces signifcantly greater heterogeneity in parcel value estimates for large areas of the wilderness. Keywords: GIS, Kuhn-Tucker demand system model, Nonmarket valuation, Web-based survey, Viewshed analysis *Correspondence author: José J. Sánchez, [email protected]. This work is based on the frst author’s PhD dissertation. Generous research funding was provided by a grant from the Western Wildland Environmental Threat Assessment Center for the years 2011– 2013.

  • Deer Springs Trailhead to Strawberry Junction to San Jacinto Peak Jeff Bozanic (714-747-2727)
    Deer Springs Trailhead to Strawberry Junction to San Jacinto Peak Jeff Bozanic (714-747-2727) Meeting Time Friday, April 21, 2013, 8:00 am at the trailhead Distance 4.1 miles each way to Strawberry Junction, 5.4 miles each way from start to top of Mt. San Jacinto. We will probably drop our backpacks and continue a bit further to gain sufficient elevation to do additional map and compass work, so a small daypack might be advised. What to Bring 10 Essentials, overnight backpacking equipment (Topographic map, sleeping bag and pad, tent (pair up as desired), chemical stove (for each team within our group), food (as discussed during our day hike), warm clothing, rain gear, boots, extra socks, 2-3 liters water, cord to hang food at night), $6 wilderness use fee, Adventure Pass for parking, HAT exams, and blue card. I will have a wilderness use permit for the group, as well as both gravity feed and ultraviolet sterilization equipment. Topographic Map: USGS 7.5’ San Jacinto Peak Weather Forecast is for daytime temperatures in the low 60s, dropping to about 30o at night. Rain and snow are not expected at this time, but may arise unexpectedly this time of year. Bring appropriate clothing and sleeping gear. Activities We will backpack in, establish camp, and eat lunch. Then we will hike to a location where we can work with maps and compass again. Afterwards we will review the exams, and discuss various gear being used by the group. We will practice bear avoidance procedures. Finally, if there is time, we may walk a little more for those who are interested.
