HIKING ROUTE 1

  • From Wilshire Peak, hike west down into a saddle and them up to the summit of Oak Glen Peak. (This peak is not on the HPS list. There is usually a peak register here.)
  • Continue west down into another saddle and then up to the summit of Cedar Mountain.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

The route continues west down Yucaipa Ridge past Birch Mountain to the Allen-Birch saddle. This route crosses private property. You must obtain permission several days in advance to use this exit route.

The USGS topo shows a trail starting at Pilgrim Pines Camp in Oak Glen and going up to a point near Cedar Mountain. This trail crosses private property and must be used only with permission. Call Pilgrim Pines at (562) 335-7697 for permission.

NOTES

This peak and the four nearby peaks are normally done together as a car shuttle trip. It is possible to descend the ridge from the saddle just east of Birch Mountain to the town of Forest Falls. See the Birch Mountain guide for additional information.
