Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board San Jacinto information (H2O)

Has anyone been up the Tramway inthe last week or two? How's the water situation? Is the spring running at Round Valley?
In past years we have had to pack in all our H2O, just wondering if I will need to for this weekend.

Thanks,
Ben

There's a new web site for that area, users will probably have a good idea what to expect. http://www.palm-springs-photography.com/phpBB2/index.php

On that new San Jacinto site, look at the recent threads related to water.

The last one is particularly interesting -- the Board host points out a recent case of giardia from the Round Valley faucet.

Thanks,
didn't know about that site.

cheers

We hiked San Jacinto last Sunday (8/20) starting up Devils Slide from Humber park in Idylwild. Basically very little water all the way to the top except for some slow flow streams about halfway up. Also it got very hot in the afternoon.
