Humber Park — Attraction in Idyllwild-Pine Cove

I absolutely loved the hike! I did the Devils Slide trail. I would say it was a hard hike. Also, I don’t hike much. But then I decided going on a solo hike and there was so much snow. I was not prepared with spikes, I just had my hiking shoes. But I managed to get to the junction pretty fine. It took me approx 5 hrs to do the round trip. This weekend it was a sunny and super nice weather. As it rained and snowed a couple weeks earlier, one could easily fine snow up on the trail. I love snow and I grabbed snow every now and then as it was keeping me motivated to make it to the top. As a solo hiker, I was super nervous yet I absolutely loved it. You would meet so many people going up or down the trail. So you won’t ever feel you are by yourself. While going, I did pass couple of people. And I did get lost haha. But then I saw other people who passed me on the trail and they were lost too as the trail was not clearly defined due to the snow. But together managed to go back to the trail, thanks to google maps and the motivation we had to make it to the top. If I would not have met then, I would have definitely turned around.

As a wedding and elopement photographer, I had the pleasure of hiking and capturing some amazing portraits here for my clients. We entered through the Devil's Slide Trail late afternoon. The trail was easy to access and spacious. We hiked for about a mile until we found the perfect spot, which included a stunning view of Tahquitz Rock (Lily Rock). Most folks come here to hike up to Suicide Rock Trail and start early, but as Drake say's best "I'm here for a good time, not a long time," so we opted to for golden hour session, which included an epic sunset at a nearby outlook point. My biggest recommendation is to wear comfy shoes for the hike and to have bug spray handy, as there are many mosquitos during summer months. I look forward to coming back to Humber Park and tackling some new trails in the...

Take only photos; leave only foot steps. Leave no trace is how I enjoy nature. I don’t always follow all the rules but you wouldn’t know I was there. What an incredible privilege to ascend a sleeping snowy giant on the somber silence of a Sunday. The bright crunch of the grains of snow underfoot crying out loudly from the sudden unwelcome friction of my boots of untrodden once warmed, now frozen snow. The silence broke only by The chestnut-backed chickadee (Poecile rufescens) casually crying out alerting the rest of the environment to my presence. The silence grows. Snowshoeless descending towards the frigid rapids of the burble glossy eddies hidden below the abundant heavy snow. Stop movement....
