    came here a couple of weeks ago & my baby carrier apparently fell out of my stroller. I called and…read moresomeone turned it in when they found it. I asked if I could pay to have it shipped back to me and they refused. I then confirmed with the office that I could come by and pick it up this week. I drove 2 hours there and the office has "misplaced" it. They were careless and lacked any form of compassion to make the situation right.

    I discovered this spot while exploring the area and asking a local business for suggestions on pet…read morefriendly hikes. I live in Orange County and visit family near Loma Linda and make time to drive through Oak Glen and hike with my dog and cat at the Wildlands Conservancy. This is such a magical place and brings me much peace. It is beautiful, peaceful and from the tall sequoias to the tropical rainforest like trees, wild birds flying and chirping through them, sound of the woodpeckers and the fog rolling over the lake, it feels like a fairy tale. My pets love hiking here as well. Both entrance and parking at the Conservancy are free. It is very family and pet friendly with a petting zoo and food stands toward the other side as you drive in. There are also areas with picnic tables near the trails. The trails are very scenic and fairly easy with a portion that is somewhat steep which I would consider slightly moderate but not difficult. I highly recommend taking the time to visit this hidden gem.

    I hiked this for the first time on 3/20/22. I had never heard about it or seen anyone post this…read morehike on Instagram and I follow a lot of hikers. I had a fellow hiker suggest this hike for a group hike and researched it a bit and got excited to try it. Location/Parking- it is a long drive for most people...nearly 2 hours for me coming from the SE part of LA county and pretty much everyone in our group had anywhere from about an hour to 2 hours just getting to this place (people coming from Rancho Cucamonga, Oceanside, and San Diego). It is easy to miss the small dirt road off HWY 243 that leads to the trailhead (especially in the dark since we were trying to start the hike at 5 AM). The narrow dirt road will take you about 400ft away from the road to a small parking lot that will allow for about 10-15 cars to park at the trailhead Trail- it is just under 4 miles to the top and almost 8 miles RT with every mile being at least 500ft of elevation gain which makes it pretty steep for a hike. The first mile or so is also hard because the trail has a big rut in the middle and you are not able to walk on a flat surface and your feet are always at an angle. The hike starts at just over 5K ft elevation and we didn't see any snow during th first mile, but in the 2nd mile we saw some clumps of snow off the trail from a recent storm, and during the 3rd mile we began seeing more snow that was on the trail, and during the last mile we got lucky to experience snow falling as we reached the 7K ft elevation. It was cold, a bit windy, and the snow was coming down pretty good at the top but we still spent about 30 mins at the top. On the way down we were able to find a few spots to take shortcuts by sliding down the snow on our butts...lots of fun! This was my first experience hiking while it was snowing. We saw no one on our way up or our way done. I think this hike is not on people's radar and I love hikes that are not crowded. Peak- There is a fire lookout tower at the top and stairs that you can go up but the top is closed off; there is a tank with the peak name and elevation and large rocks that allow you to spread out a bit at the top while you are eating a snack and taking pictures

    I love this place. Whenever I go to gramma's to do housework for her, I either go here or…read moreIdyllwild. I especially love this place on windy and rainy days. The high trail gets pretty sketchy and makes for a good time. For anyone wanting to know where this place gets its name, here goes. The local native tribes had a battle that ended here. One tribe made it to the waterfall and couldn't go anywhere. The other tribe held the high ground and slaughtered them. Google it. Anyway, parking sucks. There are a couple places off the side of the road to park. Other than that, you'll have to take your vehicle down a small hill and park in a dirt lot. Said dirt lot is a place where people like to run OHV's, and their trucks. There are some elevation changes and jumps. This used to be a loop until someone removed the rope from the highest section of the waterfall. The one at the lower half is still there. When the ropes were there, it was about a 5 mile loop.the trail doesn't end at the decent from the ridge to the waterfall. You can take the trail back another 12+ miles. It opens up to some Wild West looking shit, and then a bunch of huge boulders. The high trail is the fun part. It's pretty sketchy without high winds or rain. I prefer to come here with wind, and or rain, for a better time. The width of the high trail is about a foot, to 18 inches. At some spots, it may be unclear If you're not very experienced. At other spots there is no trail, so you'll have to stretch your legs pretty far, or make a short hop. There are plenty of rocks to get a foothold or handhold on, but be careful; some of it fragments quite easily. People also go shooting here, but usually well past the loop, and they don't aim at the trails. This place is not monitored by park rangers, so if you need anything, you'll need to call San Jacinto Sheriffs. Since it's not regulated, you can camp without permits. Have fun, be safe, watch for snakes, weird locals, keep an eye out for falling rocks, and yell down below if you happen to dislodge some rocks from the high trail. This is a good local playground; enjoy it and keep it clean.
