Description

This beautiful trail run starts near Alpaca Coffee in Idyllwild before immediately turning left to climb Tahquitz View Drive to the South Ridge Trailhead. Continue climbing the the South Ridge switchbacks to Tahquitz Peak (8845'), then drop into the Tahquitz Valley.  Drop back down into the San Jacinto Wilderness before a big climb to San Jacinto Peak (10834') then a descent via North Fork to Deer Springs Trail to the finish. 

This one had it all. Waterfall. Snow. And lots of heat. Absolutely amongst the best trail routes in SoCal.

Description

The Newton Blackmour State Trail is a crushed-stone multipurpose trail that runs between New London, Shiocton, Black Creek, and Seymour in Outagamie County. This trail is open year-round. However, there may be times when certain activities are restricted (deer hunting). This is a great way to see what Northeast Wisconsin looks like. Although there are many farm fields along the route, the trail gets a remarkable amount of shade from the trees growing along the trail. The most notable pieces of the route are in Shioctin and Black Creek.
