Route: The Alpaca Loop (counterclockwise)

This beautiful trail run starts near Alpaca Coffee in Idyllwild before immediately turning left to climb Tahquitz View Drive to the South Ridge Trailhead. Continue climbing the the South Ridge switchbacks to Tahquitz Peak (8845'), then drop into the Tahquitz Valley.  Drop back down into the San Jacinto Wilderness before a big climb to San Jacinto Peak (10834') then a descent via North Fork to Deer Springs Trail to the finish. 

This one had it all. Waterfall. Snow. And lots of heat. Absolutely amongst the best trail routes in SoCal.
