We started the day with a hike to the top of Ryan Mountain. We hiked this mountain only once before. It’s a short climb at just 1.5 miles one way, but the elevation gain is 1,070’ so expect to enjoy a nice cardio workout on the way up if you ever decided to check it out. The winds were gusting strong as we made our way to the summit. I was getting pushed around pretty good, but it felt so refreshing! On the summit, we had 360 degree views. In the distance we noted San Jacinto, San Gorgonio, the Pinto Basin and Wonderland of Rocks. This trail is beautifully constructed with sections of rock steps making the climb a little easier. It was a great way to start the day!
