Willow Creek Trail to Hidden Lake and Round Valley Loop

According to Alltrails, The Round Valley Loop is an excellent day hike. Hiking the loop in a counter-clockwise direction takes one up a steady climb along side a seasonal creek to Round Valley. It then travels along the southern rim of the valley with great views of Mt. San Jacinto and other nearby peaks before dropping back into the valley and the Tram Station area.

A Tram pass is required and so is a permit to Hidden Valley that we can get at the ranger’s station.

NOTE: We will meet at the Lakeview parking lot in Sun City at 9 am or if you want, at the Tram at 9:45.  We would like to be on the 10 am Tram.

The first mile or so of this hike is a bit strenuous, but the payoff is the views from hidden lake.

Bring plenty of water and a snack or lunch.

We may stop for a recovery drink at the bar after the hike.

Please remember this hike starts at 8,500 ft above sea level, so if you have breathing issues this hike is probably not for you.

Please contact Kevin Rivette before going on this hike.
