The original plan was to hike Cedar Springs trail and PCT to Pyramid Peak, but as always I had a late start from Phoenix, so ended up hiking a part of Ramona trail as far as the remaining daylight allowed. The trail starts at a large trailhead parking just off highway CA-74 and goes up Thomas Mountain along manzanita covered slopes. It is mostly grade with a few steps so there's some downhill mountain bike traffic from campgrounds atop the mountain down to the highway. Corner points of the trail provide good views of Garner Valley and the village of Thomas Mountain as well as San Jacinto mountains ridge across the valley.

The day started out with a 30% chance of rain and, indeed, we got dumped on a couple times on the way to the TH parking lot. By the time we got parked and ready to head out, however, the weather had started to clear so it was just cold with intermittent breezes... Had to deal with snow when we hit the 5000 foot level but it wasn't too bad, til it turned to slush later in the day. Made for a wet, muddy slog on the downhill portion of the hike. All in all, the day was very pleasant, the hike enjoyable.

Since no one but the HAZ hikebot has done a write-up on this trail, I'll work on putting something together as time permits and post along with pics and route info...
