So I'm throwing together a last minute hike from Warner Springs to San Gorgiono Pass next week and wanted to ask a few questions for those are familiar with the area.
This is my first truly desert hike and I want to make sure I'm bringing enough water. I have capacity for 6 liters. Will that be enough?
I'm planning on wearing a long sleeve MH Canyon shirt, which is unfortunately dark maroon. I know the dark color will attract heat, but is that a big enough factor to ditch it and get a new white shirt?
Does anyone have any idea how the water is in the area south of San Jacinto Wilderness? I've been checking the PCT water source site but it hasn't been updated for many sources since early May….
Lastly, I believe it will be warm enough at night to ditch extra insulation and just use my sleeping bag (rated to 35, but I sleep warm), is this the case or should I be prepared for temps cold enough to justify bringing along wear-around-camp insulation?
Thanks for any help!
