Why it works

The San Jacinto section of the PCT includes one of the most dramatic elevation gains on the entire trail — from the desert floor near Palm Springs to over 10,000 feet on the San Jacinto Plateau — requiring detailed topographic mapping for safe navigation. Water sources are scarce and critical in this desert section, making the water source detail on this map essential for PCT hikers. Waterproof construction survives the desert heat and the occasional rain that can turn desert washes into hazards.

Ideal for

PCT thru-hikers and section hikers navigating the San Jacinto and Laguna Mountains sections of the Pacific Crest Trail. See also NGTI1011 (PCT San Gabriel & San Bernardino) for the adjacent section to the north.
