This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) area in the San Jacinto Mountain foothills has no designated subregion, hence the trails prefix for Riverside County (RVC). RVC170 passes through the middle of this patch of BLM land and, at its northwest end, connects to Old Idyllwild Road.
New offroaders would enjoy this easy trail in a high clearance two-wheel drive vehicle. There are a few narrow and shallow washouts across the road that are easily crossed at low speeds.
Dispersed camping can be enjoyed on BLM land when adhering to the BLM Dispersed Camping Guidelines. There are only two suitable campsites along this route. These consist of clear, flat areas a few feet off the road that are positioned for great northerly views of the valleys below and the distant town of Banning.
No open fires are permitted, and it is the responsibility of campers to know and follow the Fire Restrictions.
