 Dripping Springs Trail |
| Distance: 14 miles round trip, out and back Hiking Time: 8+ hours Elevation Gain/Loss: 3100′/3100′ Difficulty: Strenuous |
From Interstate 15 at Temecula, drive 10 miles east on highway 79 to Dripping Springs Campground. 0.4 miles inside is the trail head.
This is an all day (or overnighter) hike. From the register this starts switchbacking. After .1 miles the trail intersects The Wild Horse Trail.
After 1 mile the trail gains the top o a nearly flat ridge and then continues south towards a series of 10 ascending switchbacks.
After 3.5 miles and 3100 the trail crosses a small creek. Here when ripe, edible berries can be found.
At trails end (6.8 miles) you join the Magee-Palomar trail (you can explore down this a short ways or turn back and head for the car).
