THIS HIKE HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Join SoCal Adaptive Sports, Friends of the Desert Mountains, and Desert Recreation District volunteer docents for a hike for persons with disabilities, their family and friends on the Ernie Maxwell trail.

This urban, dog friendly, easy hiking trail is enjoyed by local residents and visitors. We will be hiking up the trail among the many pines and checking out the wildlife. We should expect to see many wildflowers on the mountainsides. For our desert dwellers take advantage of the slightly cooler mountain community.

After the hike, enjoy the day exploring the village of Idyllwild or having an ice cream cone and lunch at one of the many restaurants. OR bring your own picnic lunch.

Bring snacks and 2 liters of water per person. Wear close-toed shoes, sun hat and sunscreen.
