We live essentially at sea level and have never hiked anything nearly as high in elevation. Do you have any tips or experiences regarding altitude sickness that could help us?<br /Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404285121241911857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309261864284951851.post-1675579081358532072013-08-05T05:18:39.876-07:002013-08-05T05:18:39.876-07:00Congratulations on getting married on the mountain...Congratulations on getting married on the mountain! My partner and I are looking to get married there next year, but the only information I can find is having the wedding in the tramway station, whereas we'd like a small ceremony in the wilderness if we can. I'd love to get some info from you as to how you get a permit for it. Any help greatly appreciated!

I just wanted to echo what Hiking Lady said years ago...I've done multiple 4 day backpacks in the area and every time I've started in Idyllwild and looped back via the Strawberry Cienega trail. This stretch of the loop is unbelievably beautiful especially in early Summer when there is plenty of green around the Cienega.

How many people did you have with you for the ceremony? That is pretty cool that you two got married at Mt. San Jacinto, the location of your first major hike together.

Started out taking the 8am tram up and reached the summit in 3.5 hours...there were a few other hikers out at that time but I saw the majority headed up when I was on the way down. Came down in 2.5 hours. This hike is great for a leg/butt workout and it gives you some great views! I did have a sense of accomplishment when I finished this hike.

Besides the aerial tram, another good way to climb the mountain is the approach from Deer Springs Trail (TH in Idyllwild). You connect to the Pacific Crest Trail for a bit, then onward through Little Round Valley to the peak. I recommend coming down via Strawberry Cienga - you'll enjoy awesome views of Tahquitz Peak.
