Looking west from the summit you can see across Pinto Basin to Joshua Tree National Park. Indeed, Ryan Mountain has its own display of unique desert flora. The trail starts flat and becomes more steep as you climb, offering spectacular panoramic views and plenty of space to explore at the summit.

Great hike in beautiful scenery!

This small mountain in the lower part does not see as many visitors as the center of Joshua Tree National Park. Leave the crowds behind and enjoy a hike to this peak and the scenic ruins of the old Mastodon Mine. In the 1930s, the Hulsey Family found some gold ore, but was not able to get to the main vein, so the mine was abandonded pretty soon.

Mount Rubidoux boasts several historic landmarks, including the Peace Tower, built in 1925 to honor Frank A. Miller. The cross at its summit symbolizes the city's cultural heritage and provides a serene spot for reflection and appreciation of Riverside's history. Additionally, the Save Mount Rubidoux Committee has worked tirelessly to preserve these landmarks and maintain the mountain's significance in the community.

With 10,883 feet, Mount San Jacinto is the highest peak in the San Jacinto Mountains. There is a network of hiking trails around the summit and the San Jacinto State Park itself. If the weather turns for the worst, you can find shelter in a little hut close to the summit. You can either take a hike from Idyllwild on the west side of the mountain or Palm Springs on the east side. There is also an aerial tramway you can use to get into the San Jacinto Wilderness. If you feel adventurous, you can cross the mountain range using the Pacific Crest Trail.

As you might expect, the Peak Trail leads you to the summit of Mount San Jacinto and the shelter hut below. There is snow very likely at least until late spring if not into early summer.

Box Springs Mountain Reserve is located on 3,400 beautiful acres of land that overlook the cities of Riverside and Moreno Valley. The Reserve once was covered in dense Coastal Sage Scrub, but recent wildfires have allowed non-native grasses to thrive. Visitors should be conscious of their activities while visiting the Reserve in order to protect wildlife and their delicate ecosystem.

Some historians believe America's first Easter sunrise service took place atop Rubidoux in 1909 and inspired similar observances around the continent.
