DESCRIPTION FROM:

Best Dog Hikes Southern California

by Linda and David Mullally (Falcon Guides)

This hike on the pine slopes hugging the community that touts itself as the “most dog-friendly town in America” offers dazzling views of granite outcrops soaring above the valley floor. This trail takes you up to a saddle at the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and up to the threshold of the pristine Mount San Jacinto State Park Wilderness, where dog- friendliness ends.
