Mount San Jacinto State Park
Mount San Jacinto State Park, State park in Riverside County, California.
Mount San Jacinto State Park spans 14,000 acres of wilderness, featuring granite peaks, alpine forests, and meadows within the San Jacinto Mountains range.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation established this protected area in 1933 to preserve the natural environment of Southern California's second-highest peak.
Native American tribes inhabited the mountain regions before European settlement, leaving behind artifacts that document their presence in these elevated territories.
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway provides direct access to the park, transporting visitors from the desert floor to an elevation of 8,516 feet.
The park's elevation gain of over 10,000 feet creates distinct ecological zones, supporting both desert flora and alpine vegetation within a short distance.
