MISSION CREEK TO PCT

Hike a section of Pacific Crest Trail from Mission Creek Preserve to ridge-top expansive views and Whitewater overlook.  Fabulous views of valley and San Gorgonio Peak.  

The Mission Creek Preserve hike is a great family-friendly adventure that offers a little bit of everything in an easy package. You’ll be able to visit the ruins of an old “glamping” resort, follow a creek that started high in the mountains and is now irrigating the desert, pass a rare wetland, enjoy views of the high peaks, and then visit an old stone ranch house. The trail is wide, the climbs gradual, and it’s easy to follow. Even if you’re an experienced hiker, there’s enough beauty here to warrant at least one visit. And this hike is dog friendly; on-leash only, please!

Meet at the trailhead parking area at the Mission Creek Preserve Entrance gate at 9:00 AM.

6 Miles with Elevation gain of 1400 ft.
