[pct-l] Re route around Idyllwild

[Kevin Taylor]

Sue,
The Idyllwild detour was easy and there were several different routes that people used.  
After a big lunch at the Paradise cafe with other hikers, I walked the road to camp at Hemet Lake campground, 9 miles (it has a convenience store and showers). Easy walk, lots of room on the side of the road and lots of shade from big pine trees.  You could also camp at the Herkey creek campground just past Hemet lake.
>From the Herky creek campground, a mountain bike trail left the west side of the campground and paralleled the road for 1.5 miles. It was nice hiking. Then a short road walk to Mountain center. I took the McCall park road past nice houses with horse stables, then up a horse trail to cross the dangerous 243 road. Past the gravel pit on the left and then an easy trail along a power line. It came out on the Saunders Meadow rd. I went down to the 243, 200 ft right and took a trail below the 243 that came out on Robin rd. From there it was residential roads into town. It was a nice walk.

Does anyone have info on the reroute in this section of Idyllwild, also does anyone know if Chihuahua Valley Rd has a public access or is it gated an private? Thanks so much.
