Visitors center hours are limited to weekends in the summer - but this is a great place to go for information on the Santa Rosa Mountain area including Idylwild.

The Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains rise from the desert floor, reaching an elevation of 10,834 feet at the summit of Mount San Jacinto. It is a desirable backcountry destination that can be accessed via trails from both the valley floor and the alpine village of Idyllwild. The Monument was created on October 24, 2000 and is a cooperative effort of the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, state agencies and local governments. The Visitor Center has exhibits on desert wildlife and cultural history, provides information on the Monument hiking trails and vistas. The Friends of the Desert Mountains volunteers operate a gift shop and bookstore at the Visitor Center and also offer hikes, lectures, and host classroom programs and projects.

Hiking - if you are interested in going for a hike or a trail run, you should stop by the visitor center and get a map. My favorites are: Art Smith, Hope along Cassidy and the Bump & Grind
