The homes near Idylwild are moderately difficult. Helps to take water and plan on taking breaks if you are not used to strenuous hikes. The views are exceptional

Excellent hiking trails. So beautiful when you get to the top of the mountain.

Okay, some basics. Mt San Jacinto State Park is huge and actually a wilderness rather than a typical Park. The place where the Palm Springs tram drops you off is up near the peak, far far from 25905 CA-243, Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA 92549. The ranger here said there's no road to get there, you have to tram or do a steep 7 mile one way hike. This Google Map location should actually be called the CAMPGROUND for this "California State Park" as that's all that's here. The huge trees and restrooms are nice tho.

I loved the atmosphere of this campground with its incredibly tall trees. I only gave it a 4 star because many of the tent sites were badly eroded as well as the parking places for them. Electric sites are available however it appeared that the only site w/ water hook up was the handicap site next to the rest room.

Really beautiful in autumn. There are multiple easy trails/loops that would be manageable for small children. However, not the best for disabled people as the way down from the visitor center is steep and may be difficult to go up and down.
