Completed my first 14er yesterday at Mt Elbert - the highest peak in Colorado (but one of the easier ones to hike up)

Hiking in Mount San Jacinto State Park. Lots of amazing views and a completely different environment than Palm Springs. Soak afterwards.
Standing in front of the mountains View from the top There’s still some snow on the trail at the higher elevations Soaking in the hot tub after the hike
