Even Paco appreciated the color to be seen along the Ernie Maxwell Scenic Trail near Idlyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains. His best friend, Soyoung Kim, joined him in appreciating Patchy color amidst a mixed forest of bigleaf maple, willow and oak. What’s next Paco, Bishop Creek Canyon!?
The Ernie Maxwell Scenic Trail is part of San Bernardino National Forest and passes through the San Jacinto Wilderness. It’s an easy 2.6-mile hike beginning at 6400′ and descending 700′ from Humber Park. Several species of trees are found along the way, along with good views of Suicide and Lily Rocks.
