San Jacinto Ranger District - Idyllwild
Ranger Station
The
San Jacinto Ranger District is located in Riverside County and
encompasses the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. The area includes
steep to very steep canyons and elevations ranging from 2,000 feet to
10,831 feet at the top of Mt. San Jacinto. The landscape is dramatic and
picturesque, providing a scenic backdrop for Palm Springs and other
Coachella Valley desert communities. The Santa Rosa and San Jacinto
Mountains National Monument is located along the east side of the area.
Idyllwild is the gateway to the San Jacinto Wilderness.
A variety of recreation opportunities are found here, including hiking,
camping, fishing, mountain biking, equestrian use, and rock climbing.
The Pacific Crest Trail
traverses the length of the District. State Highway 243 entering the
forest from the north at Banning runs southeast to the Coachella Valley
as the “Palm to Pines Scenic
Byway”.
We are located on the corner of Pine Crest and Highway 243 in
Idyllwild.
Office hours are 8:00am to Noon and 1:00pm to 3:30pm Monday through Friday
