Snow on San Jacinto

Back in California, we headed for Palm Springs to prepare for re-entry into real life.  We took the tram going from 2,643' to 8,516' in 10 minutes.  We were surprised to find some big patches of snow and glad we had gloves and jackets, even though it was 80 degrees and sunny in the valley.  We could see the clouds, from top of Wellman's Divide where we hiked, that have been bringing premature cold weather to S. Cal.  This might be the last wilderness hike we have on this trip so we savored every single moment.
