A climb toward San Jacinto Peak starting from the Marion Campground side. Weather shifted throughout the day, so the outing focused on steady progress rather than reaching the summit. Terrain is consistent forested singletrack with predictable switchbacks.

Turned around when conditions were no longer worth pushing higher.
