Description

A Guided Wilderness Nature Hike for You Hike with San Jacinto State Park Volunteers to the Hidden Divide Natural Preserve. This past Winter snowfall may make for a spectacular viewing of the Hidden Lake vernal pool within the preserve that has been off limits until recently to protect and restore the fragile wetland ecosystem. The preserve is now open to visitors by permit and is strictly enforced. While this hike is designed to accommodate your personal ability, it is essential that participants be in good physical condition. It will be a gentle hike with time to experience the joy of being a part of nature, stopping along the way to take advantage of educational opportunities to learn about and appreciate this special place even more!
