Welcome to Idyllwild!
W
elcome to the first issue of the new Explore Idyllwild Directory, a semi-annual guide to everything Idyllwild — from a calendar of events, outdoor recreation, art galleries to where to eat. We want you to enjoy a great experience in our beautiful mountain village — to share in the talents of those who live here and bring delight through such forms as art, music, dance and theater, among other things. Some of the most talented people reside as students at Idyllwild Arts Academy and Summer Programs. And you get to attend nearly every worldclass performance for free.
Within Idyllwild, we have three theater companies, professional musicians who mix it up in various combinations to perform at restaurants many days and evenings, and a thriving visual art community. A strong volunteer spirit through many nonprofits shoulders dozens of events throughout the year. Hiking and mountain biking trails, rock climbing, camping just enhance the experience of Idyllwild — one you’ll never forget. Enjoy!

Fishing
Licenses are required for anglers ages 16 and over with a daily bag limit of five trout during the year-round season. One-year licenses are available to California residents at Village Hardware and Lake Hemet Market. Visit www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/ for 2014 and 2015 license rates and free fishing days throughout California. Equipment and bait may be purchased at Lake Hemet Market, Pine Cove Market, Village Hardware and Village Market. Fairway Market and Forest Lumber also stock some supplies.
LAKE HEMET
Lake Hemet is stocked throughout most of the year with rainbow trout but natural channel catfish, big-mouth bass and bluegill also provide good sport fishing. It is about 4 miles south of Mountain Center on Highway 74. It is owned and operated by the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District. Public recreation areas are on the lake’s shores. The Forest Service maintains a picnic area for day use along the north shore, the water district on the other shores. The water district also owns and operates Lake Hemet Campground. Call (951) 659-2680.
LAKE FULMOR
About 10 miles north of Idyllwild on Highway 243, Lake Fulmor is stocked with trout from spring through summer. The 2-acre lake occasionally freezes over in winter. A parking area is across the highway from the lake so use caution when crossing to and from the lake.
STRAWBERRY CREEK
Strawberry Creek is the only stream where fishing is allowed in the San Jacinto Mountains. California Department of Fish and Game no longer stocks fish in other creeks because the streams are suitable habitat for a protected species, the mountain yellow-legged frog.
THOUSAND TRAILS
Thousand Trails’ seasonal fishing pond is stocked with tilapia, bluegill and catfish. Fishing permits are $10 and free for ages 6 and under with an adult permit.

Rock Climbing
n 1938 MGM, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, released a 10 minute documentary entitled “Three on a Rope.” This rock climbing documentary followed a group of three climbers as they made what had to be one of the first filmed ascents of Tahquitz Rock. The documentary also included a second group of three climbers, mostly for comic relief, in the Mt. Baldy area. The commentary is pretty hokey but seeing the climber’s equipment and watching the climbing techniques they use is a unique window into the history of the sport of rock climbing. Especially considering that it was only two years earlier that Tahquitz saw the first ascent of the “Trough” which was originally rated at 5.0 but has since been upped to 5.4. There are many firsts that can be attributed to Tahquitz Rock including the decimal rating system for rock climbing. It was developed by climbers on Tahquitz but was later renamed the Yosemite Decimal System or YDS. The “Class” system starts at Class 1 for walking, Class 2 for walking with some use of the hands, Class 3 for scrambling using all four limbs on certain sections, Class 4 easy climbing with some exposure and maybe needing a rope for safety and Class 5 which is climbing with a rope and safety gear. Originally climbs were rated between 5.0 – 5.9 but as climbing gear and techniques improved the 5.9 “ceiling” was reached by Royal Robbins on Open Book in 1952. Since then the degree of difficulty has progressed between 5.10 – 5.15 with the invention of shoes designed specifically for rock climbing, better harnesses and protection helping the next generation to push the envelope. Tahquitz saw it heydays from 1936 and on into the 60’s and 70’s when attention began to focus on Suicide Rock its smaller neighbor to the north. One of Suicide’s test pieces became Valhalla. With a 5.11 rating Valhalla was the route to conquer for a group of climbers led by John Long known as The Stone Masters. Although Suicide routes are shorter than those on Tahquitz they now out number the routes on Tahquitz 300+ to just over 200 for the latter. There are still new routes being put up on both rocks but most of the new development is now focused on the outlying area called the Hinterlands and also a few scattered crags in Garner Valley. The turn of the century has seen a gigantic boom in bouldering that was once thought of as only practice or a warm up for “real” rock climbing. In fact bouldering seems to be the sport of

choice for the young climbers as it is easier getting started and the cost for gear is much less. There are now several well developed bouldering areas in our local mountain including Black Mountain, South Ridge, County Park and the tramway boulders at the top of the Palm Springs Tramway. The Tramway has its own guidebook and Black Mountain will soon have a separate guide if it isn’t already published. Black Mountain is particularly popular as a summer destination because at around 8000 feet in elevation it is much cooler than the surrounding dessert bouldering areas. Every spring the boulderers are always chomping at the bit waiting for the gait at the bottom of Black Mountain Road to open. Although climbing is now a much more diversified sport no matter what direction the world of rock climbing should take, Tahquitz will always have its place in the past, present and on into the future. Tahquitz still draws people from all over the planet and it remains Southern California’s biggest rock and most storied crag.

Mountain Biking
ith approximately 200 miles of dirt roads and more than 40 miles of trails open to bicyclists, the San Jacinto Mountains around Idyllwild offer a number of experiences for mountain bikers of all levels. For that reason, the local mountain trails have become extremely popular among riders looking for challenging routes and breathtaking scenery. Local trails provide mountain bikers with a diverse selection of roads from which to choose. The Forest Service has mountain biking regulations in the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains to ensure the safety of riders and the protection of natural resources. Bicycles may be ridden on established roads and trails within the mountains; however, bikes are not allowed within the San Jacinto or Santa Rosa wilderness areas or along the Pacific Crest Trail. If parking a vehicle on Forest Service land in the areas of Thomas Mountain and Black Mountain, Lake Hemet and Humber Park, visitors must display an Adventure or Recreation Pass in their vehicle. Call the Idyllwild Ranger Station at (909) 382-2922 for more details. The Forest Service also offers these safety tips for mountain bikers: Keep your eyes and ears open for equestrians and hikers on trails and vehicles on roads; helmets are highly recommended; control your speed; avoid riding after dark; and, carry a map (available at the Forest Service). Idyllwild-area Mountain Bike Trails • Coyote Run: Beginning at the north end of Hurkey Creek County Park and ending at the waterfalls on Hurkey Creek, this easy and scenic ride is about two miles on a dirt road closed to vehicles. Parking is available at the day-use area within the Hurkey Creek Campground or outside the park. • Fobes Ranch Road and Spurs: This trail is located three miles south of Lake Hemet on

It begins one mile south of Lake Hemet on Highway 74, six miles east of the junction with Highway 371. The dirt road ascends from an elevation of 4,500 feet to more than 8,700 feet in 13 miles to Thomas Mountain Peak, offering far-reaching views of Anza and San Diego below. • 24-hour Loop: Starting and ending at Hurkey Creek County Park, this challenging ride starts with a tough climb up to Keen Summit, traverses through Johnson Meadow and features a fast and flowy descent through chaparral to complete the 11-mile loop.
