Pacific Crest Trail out and back

Drove 1/2 hour East of Hemet on Hwy 74 to the Pacific Crest Trail crossing. Took the PCT South from the gate on Hwy 74 running about 1 mile past Table Mtn Truck Trail (dirt road) where there was a good view overlooking the Anza area. Turned around here and headed back (at 6 miles). The PCT is all single track, very well maintained, and mostly loamy dirt and sand. The elevation at the trail head is about 5,000ft with this section of the trail having an elevation change of 1,000ft. It was a really nice day, but windy with good cloud cover for most of the run. We never saw any other people along the entire 12 miles. See a map and trail metrics here.
