Day 4 • Idyllwild-Pine Cove

Go wild in Idyllwild

“The cutest little community in the mountains”. 

Idyllwild-Pine Cove is a cool, artsy mountain town located not far from Palm Springs in the San Jacinto Mountains. Full of independent shops, cute cafes and endless hiking trails, this was a great spot for Savannah to soak up the mountain and pine forest views. If you want to follow in Savannah’s footsteps, try the 8.1 mile Tahquitz Peak via Devil’s Slide Trail. 

Fun fact

If you thought having two movie stars as Governors was oh-so-California, then maybe you haven’t heard about Idyllwild’s Mayor. The town’s elected leader is a golden retriever named Mayor Max III. Yes, really.
