Trail Overview

Beautiful trail overlooking the neighboring town of Banning and the surrounding mountains. The deserted mountainscape is chock-full of secluded camp spots with some wind cover and appears to be used for shooting occasionally. The trail is relatively even in most spots and wide enough for two vehicles to squeeze by each other.

Road is in good shape. A few puddles but nothing too serious. This was my first time on this trail. Will definitely be back.

Very easy trail. I think a 2wd sedan could drive through except for the deep puddles of water in some few spots. Other than that’s is a scenic trail with nice views. Nice bypass up to Idyllwild.
