The North Face of San Jacinto Peak climbs over 10,000 feet in under seven miles, making it one of the largest escarpments in the contiguous United States. When California is fortunate enough to experience a strong winter, this drainage transforms into a massive snow tongue visible from San Gorgonio Pass and across the Morongo Valley.
Snow Creek is the mountaineer's Cactus to Clouds. It includes little to no trail apart from sporadic animal tracks, dense brush, and one of the longest and steepest sustained snow ascents the United States has to offer. Of course, when a potential route like this is highlighted in such a way, there should be no surprise that humans would attempt to climb it. Outdoorists who attempt this route are required to be skilled in orienteering, with experience in 4th & 5th class exposure, and have the endurance/conditioning of a bighorn sheep.
