I decided to hike up Icehouse Canyon, to see the waterfalls flowing in winter, during a recent snow. The road to the parking area was clear. There were however signs along the roadside reading “Hiking Not Advised.” This was likely due to recent missing hikers on Mt Baldy.
Here is a guide to Hiking to Chiquito Falls near Lake Elsinore, along with the San Juan Loop Trail, and San Juan Falls. One thing to note about the hike to Chiquito Falls is that it is less technical to reach it than other waterfall hikes, while being longer, with more elevation gain. A hike here does not require Class 2+3 scrambling over large boulders, such as in Black Star Canyon.
Follow along as I hike through Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. I will share where to park, the costs involved, and helpful tips for a successful visit to this unique travel destination in Orange County, California.
I hope you enjoy this guide to hiking the Art Smith Trail in Palm Desert, California. The Art Smith Trail is about 16 miles long, and takes you into the Santa Rosa Mountains Wilderness, high above Palm Desert. It's rated as moderate, and is a class 1 hiking trail. The trail is a relatively narrow single track popular with hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians.
It was a sunny fall day when I arrived at Chino Hills, to hike Diemer Trail. I will go over the trailhead, parking, and the history of Chino Hills State Park, so you can better plan your visit.
