It is always nice this time of year to have a hike where you can end up in the snow, but you need to be ready for it with good traction shoes and light but water resistant pants.

This has to be one of my favorite areas to hike, period. There is a hiking trail for everyone from ability, to view to time.

We had not been up to San Jacinto State Park (part of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument) for several decades, but decided to see it again.

My family has been spending Thanksgiving in Idyllwild for as long as I can remember. We make it a habit of spending a few mornings hiking the trails of the state park. Gorgeous views, fresh air, and beautiful scenery.

Beautiful view but it was crowded and overpriced inside the shops and restaurants I think we paid 20 dollars for 2 granola bars and 2 soft drinks

The park staff is the best. Very helpful and does all they can to help and give accurate information. The wilderness itself is by far the most scenic in So. Cal. Easy access from the Idyllwild side or take the Palm Springs areial tramway from the desert side. Either way, very serene and relaxing.

great views great food and so much fun, the lines can be long so best to show up early and get your tickets online. The ride and dine program is a good way to go
