We finally made it up to Mount Laguna yesterday to hike Garnet Peak. It was perfect weather and we made the hike in about 2 hours. Before heading home we stopped in Julian for dinner and picked up an apple pie – yum!
Some info about Garnet Peak:
Located at the Northern end of the Laguna Mts, Garnet Peak marks the boundary between the alpine mountains and the Borrego Desert below. Views include Monument Peak and the Stephenson Peak to the South, the Borrego Desert and Salton Sea to the East, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio to the North. On a clear day one can even see across the boarder into Mexico.
