Wilderness

The San Bernardino National Forest has eight designated Wilderness areas. It is a place "where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain....which is protected and managed to preserve its natural condition."

Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument

The mountains rise abruptly from the desert floor to an elevation of 10,804 feet at the top of Mount San Jacinto. The landscape gives visitors a powerful sense of place for their natural scenic beauty, recreational opportunities, and extensive biodiversity and cultural values.

Wildlife Viewing

Wildlife watching can be enjoyed any month of the year. Early morning and early evening are usually the best times to catch a glimpse of birds and mammals, especially on hot summer days. Watch for lizards and snakes during the heat of the day. Hawks can be seen almost anytime.
