Overviews
This is a connector trail that connects the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) with Wellman Divide.


Hike
This trail branches off the PCT at Saddle Junction and goes north to Wellman Divide. The trail is very scenic, particularly if you are descending the trail since the views are in front of you -- there are really nice views of Palm Springs to the east and of mountains off to the south.

The main use of this trail is as a connector for hikes to and from Mount San Jacinto from one of the trailheads in Idyllwild.

Water Sources
Cienega is a Spanish word for spring. Wellman Cienega is a perpetual spring along the trail that is about 0.6 miles below Wellman Divide. At the spring you'll see lots of lush green growth.
