If you're really fit and very experienced, try the Cactus to Clouds hike from Palm Springs . NOT FOR BEGINNERS YOU NEED TO PREP! https://hikingguy.com/hiking-trails/hiking-la/cactus-to-clouds-hike/f

Feels more like the Southern Sierras than anyplace else in SoCal. Devil's Slide Trail to '5 Points' and to Tahquitz Peak Lookout is a must-do. Just don't forget your permit. AND NEVER LITTER!!!!!!!!

Beautiful park - would love to come back another time during the day and explore the trails here.

First time in high elevation . Air smelled fresh and there was still snow on the ground . Weather was comfortable enough that we could have hiked in shorts and a light sweatshirt.hiking

Beautiful regardless of what time of year you visit and want to do hiking or even do some camping !

Sham Kulkarni

The Tram ride up is worth the spectacular views , but the views from the hiking trail are just as awesome!

You can walk to Idyllwild from here during the summer if you start early enough!

Great views , good hiking , and a lot cooler than the desert floor below.

Island Bruin

You would never know you are next to a desert. Pine trees and granite boulders.

Amélie Beerens

Nice! But don't expect to see wild animals if you do the small walking tour .

Brandon Gray

Definitely worth the trip up if you're visiting Palm Springs .

The air is amazing! Smokers Tip: Smoking is illegal here!

Great place to either car camp or RV camp. Spaces are relatively close together, bathrooms and showers are clean and well stocked. You can wald to downtown Idyllwild in 20 minutes (1 mile). - Jay LaFunk

The Smoked Gouda Mac-n-cheese with pulled pork is really rich and quite good! The 8oz filet was incredibly tender and nicely presented. Desserts are pre-fab but nice. - Michael Erb

A bit kitschy, but the quickest and best way to get to the top of Mt San Jacinto from Palm Springs. It's a little pricey for what it is, but the floor rotates! Neat! Also not far from downtown PSP. - Nick Thulin
