Idyllwild

Idyllwild

A small town in the heart of the San Jacinto Mountains, Idyllwild is the perfect escape from Southern California traffic and the bustle of modern life. The big draw is San Jacinto National Park, where you can explore more than 50 trails.  A hike through many of the forest trails will take you by mountain streams and lead you to peaks with views of the Coachella Valley below and, on clearer days, the Salton Sea hundreds of miles away. Idyllwild is small enough that wherever you stay, you'll be close to nature. Head to town to browse local shops and restaurants.

SANTA ROSA & SAN JACINTO MOUNTAINS NATIONAL MONUMENT

SANTA ROSA & SAN JACINTO MOUNTAINS NATIONAL MONUMENT

Rising abruptly from the desert floor, the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument reaches an elevation of 10,834 feet at the summit of Mount San Jacinto.  Providing a picturesque backdrop to local communities, the National Monument significantly contributes to the Coachella Valley's lure as a popular resort and retirement community.  It is also a desirable backcountry destination that can be accessed via trails from both the valley floor and the alpine village of Idyllwild.The National Monument's boundary encompasses about 272,000 acres, including 65,000 acres within the San Jacinto Ranger District of the San Bernardino National Forest, and 89,500 acres within the Bureau of Land Management's California Desert Conservation Area.  The National Monument includes two federal Wilderness Areas:  the Santa Rosa Wilderness which contains 61,600 acres of BLM and Forest Service lands, and 19,470 acres of the Forest Service's San Jacinto Wilderness.  Its boundary also surrounds lands owned and administered by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, California Department of Parks and Recreation, California Department of Fish and Game, other agencies of the State of California, and private landowners.  An advisory committee comprised of individuals representing various jurisdictions and interests makes recommendations that help guide management of the National Monument.  The Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument was established by an Act of Congress on October 24, 2000 "in order to preserve the nationally significant biological, cultural, recreational, geological, educational, and scientific values found in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains and to secure now and for future generations the opportunity to experience and enjoy the magnificent vistas, wildlife, land forms, and natural and cultural resources in these mountains and to recreate therein" (Public Law 106-351).  Establishment of the National Monument reflects the vision of local citizens and national leaders to ensure this special landscape is protected for all time.
