This mostly shady loop trail located in Idyllwild County Park has beautiful scenery which features many yellow Pines, Manzanita groves, tall cedars, mountain oaks and large boulders all around. We will start at the parking lot at the Idyllwild Nature Center where we will stop and pay our $6.00 entrance fee into the park. From the nature center we will walk the loop twice crossing Lily Creek and heading back to the parking lot. This is a mostly easy trail, but with an elevation of over 5,500 feet combined with some steeper up and down sections of the trail, this trail is rated moderate.
