Okay, some basics. Mt San Jacinto State Park is huge and actually a wilderness rather than a typical Park. The place where the Palm Springs tram drops you off is up near the peak, far far from 25905 CA-243, Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA 92549. The ranger here said there's no road to get there, you have to tram or do a steep 7 mile one way hike. This Google Map location should actually be called the CAMPGROUND for this "California State Park" as that's all that's here. The huge trees and restrooms are nice tho.

I loved the atmosphere of this campground with its incredibly tall trees. I only gave it a 4 star because many of the tent sites were badly eroded as well as the parking places for them. Electric sites are available however it appeared that the only site w/ water hook up was the handicap site next to the rest room.

Really beautiful in autumn. There are multiple easy trails/loops that would be manageable for small children. However, not the best for disabled people as the way down from the visitor center is steep and may be difficult to go up and down.

The most convenient way to get to the park is via the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. It will elevate you to 8,516 feet (about 2,6 km.) $15 parking + $33 cable car will get you Incredible photo opportunities (plus a couple of hiking trails.)

Rode the tram up to the station, and made the 10 mile round trip hike to the summit of San Jacinto Peak! I’m from the east coast, so this was an experience unlike anything else! I won’t lie, we came blissfully unaware and underprepared for the strain of high altitude hiking, but we got the job done and made it home! I learned AFTER the hike, that San Jacinto Peak is one of the USA Ultra 57’s! Now I don’t think this means I’m gonna go climb Rainier tomorrow, but I’d like to do as many Ultras as I can! Chase what makes you feel alive people! I will forever be grateful I made this journey, so far from home. I hope I can inspire others to do the same!
