According to a recent (very real 😉) poll, people overwhelming love paths. Give the people what they want.

This inviting and colorful path is a section of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) that runs through the @mypubliclands Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monuments.

Rising abruptly from the desert floor, the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument reaches an elevation of 10,834 feet.  Providing a picturesque backdrop to local communities, visitors can enjoy magnificent palm oases, snow-capped mountains, the PCT, and wilderness areas.  Its extensive backcountry can be accessed via trails from both the Coachella Valley and the alpine village of Idyllwild.
