    Ranger Guided Tour - Discover the colorful lives of Bill and Frances Keys and learn how they survived and raised a family in the harsh desert environment on the Keys Ranch Tour. Explore the ranch house, school room, store, workshop, and more treasures from the 60 years the Keys called this area home.

    Guajome Regional Park is great for bicycling enthusiasts. It has numerous paved roadways within the park suitable for bicycling. There is also an excellent 10 mile bike only path from just outside the park into the Oceanside beachfront. At the beachfront, The trail merges with the oceanfront road leading to many shops and restaurants. 

    There are 3.5 miles of well-maintained hiking trails that meander through diverse Southern California habitats such as woodlands, chaparral, wetlands, and mixed grasslands. There are eight named trails, including a short self guided nature trail, and a couple of unnamed trails.

    The park is close to other historical points of interest such as the Rancho Guajome Adobe, designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1970 and the San Luis Rey Mission, one of the twenty-one California missions, which was founded in 1798.

    There is a bicycle trailhead just outside of the park that extends through nearby Oceanside, all the way to the coast. The city of Oceanside itself offers beaches, a pier and harbor, shopping, and restaurants.  Black's Beach is a 45 minute drive down the I-5.

  • PS - Hike: Tahquitz Peak via Devil's Slide

    The hike up to the lookout tower through the San Jacinto Wilderness offers some of the most beautiful vistas in Southern California, including the Salton Sea to the southeast. The origin of Tahquitz's name is derived from the Cahuilla people's god Tahquish, who believe the peak to be the god's home.



    At an elevation of 8,846 feet, this lookout is the highest within the San Bernardino National Forest, and the only one located within a designated Wilderness area. It is also the forest’s longest continuously operated station, serving some 77 years. (information from the USFS)


    Starting from Humber Park in Idyllwild, this hike follows the forested Devil's Slide Trail up steady inclines through some notable damage from last year's rains to Saddle Junction, along the PCT to the spur up to Tahquitz Peak. USFS volunteer willing, we may have the opportunity to visit the opened fire station at the peak.


    We will meet at the Denny's parking lot on the corner of Hwy 111 and Date Palm Dr in Cathedral City and drive to the Forest Service office in Idyllwild for a permit then on to Humber Park. An Adventure Pass or an Interagency Pass (one per car) is required for this location. Bring plenty of water and lunch/snacks, this is a long hike that will take between 5 and 6 hours to complete round trip (plus driving time of an 1hr 15min+ each way to/from Humber Park).

      BICYCLE CAMPING NOTES

      _____________________________________

      WILLIAM HEISE REGIONAL PARK, SAN DIEGO COUNTY

      Ample bicycling opportunities exist in this regional park located a half-dozen miles from the unincorporated Julian community (famous for its pies). It includes more than 12 miles of multi-use non-motorized trails. Situated 4,200 feet above sea level in a forest of pines and oaks along the northern extremity of the Cuyamaca Mountain Range.  The day-use and camping park spans over 1,000 acres.

      _____________________________________

      BORREGO SPRINGS CAMPING

      An active bicycling community exists in the Borrego Springs community. Smack in the middle of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and unpretentious, the town of Borrego Springs, population 3,429. is the only California town that is completely surrounded by a state park. It’s also an official International Dark Sky Community—the first and only one in California—dedicated to protecting the night sky from light pollution

      The downtown area has a passel of ice cream shops, restaurants, and lodgings, but the local art scene evokes the most community pride. First, there are the supersize prehistoric and fantastical beasts that both line area roads and are  sometimes seemingly dropped randomly in the middle of nowhere, far from any road or foot traffic. The meticulously crafted metal creatures, rust-colored and featuring such details as curling eyelashes and “fur” of shaved iron, are the work of metal sculptor Ricardo Breceda. Visitors to Borrego Springs who would like to camp have it especially good—you are allowed to camp for free anywhere in the surrounding Anza-Borrego State Park.

      The lightly traveled roads, including the 9 mile route from town to park, are all Bicycle friendly. Expect to encounter bicycling families and riding groups on the excellently maintained paths.  Camping trip bicycle use is recommended.
