Garnet Peak Hike Guide

When you get to the first junction, shortly after the start, bear to the left.

We’ll be following the PCT until we reach the Garnet Peak Trail. The PCT is well marked.

There are several trailheads at the parking lot. Look for this one at the southeast edge of the parking area.

This hike route is an out-and-back from Penny Pines Trailhead to the summit. You can see Garnet Peak’s position on the edge of the escarpment between the Laguna Mountains and the Borrego Desert.

The first half of the hike along the PCT is rolling, and then you have a steep 500 foot climb to the summit. Then you follow the same path back to the start.

Penny Pines has a wide parking area on both sides of the road. I usually park on the west side.
