(Katie and Grace love Idyllwild so much they just had to add one more trip to the cycle)
Come out for an awesome day hike to the semi-snowy, pine-tree-filled, mountains of Idyllwild! We will all meet up at 8 am on Saturday morning by the village elevators and drive to the trailhead. Then we will start our hike, adding in plenty of stops to frolic in the snow, climb around on rocks, and take pretty pictures. The midpoint of our hike is at the famous suicide rock lookout where we will enjoy lunch with a stellar view. If we are feeling extra adventurous we can go up a little higher to the summit of Mt. San Jacinto. Then we will head back down the mountain and stop in the cute town of Idyllwild (like its actually the cutest town ever) where we will stop for ice cream you scream we all scream for ice cream!!
