Guided nature walks are a wonderful way to learn about the natural environment at the top of the Tram. Mount San Jacinto State Park Volunteers conduct these walks Saturdays and Sundays from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend. These walks feature a choice of two easy trails–the Desert View Trail, a 1½-mile walk beginning at 11:00 a.m. and the Long Valley Nature Trail, a ¾-mile loop beginning at 1:30 p.m. No advance registration is required and there is no charge. Participants are urged to wear flat, comfortable shoes.
Self-Guided Walks
Follow the nature trail posts around the ¾ mile (1.2 km) loop. This easy, level trail provides an excellent introduction to the Park’s plants and animals. The Natural History Museum also offers maps and nature books for a nominal fee.
