Starting up the Cahuilla Mountain Trail.

View back toward the trailhead (right).

The Cahuilla Mountain Trail wraps along the eastern slopes for a while.

View back.

More wrapping around the slope.

The trail leads in and out of wide drainages.


And then it ascends more earnestly up to the northern ridge of Cahuilla Mountain.

Small grassy section before reaching the ridge.

The trail surprised me by dropping a couple of hundred feet on the west side slope.

And then we ascended again through forest.

View back as we progress through the forest and grasses.


Final bit as we near the summit, some nice views along the way.

Cahuilla Mountain summit, view southwest.

Cahuilla Mountain summit, view north toward Thomas Mountain and Mount San Jacinto.
