10 Essentials (strenuous)

These essentials have been proven to make that unexpected stay in the wilderness survivable. Learn how to use your knowledge instead of “dumb luck.” You don’t ever want to be caught unprepared for whatever the wild may throw at you. Learn how being prepared is made easy each time you set out on a day hike or a backpacking trek.

This hike will be predominately off-trail. The wilderness inside Mt. San Jacinto Park has many unique features that can’t be experienced while on the normal trail. In some places the terrain will be steep and slippery due to fallen tree debris.

This hike will be led by Wilderness Patrollers members of the Hasty Search and Rescue Team at Mount San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness.
