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.
