Rio Monte
The hike up to Jenks Lake is a wonderful warm-up to more daring adventures in the San Gorgonio Wilderness. The trail, steep though short, provides an excellent cardiovascular workout along what was once a logging road. After a shady stream crossing surrounded by lush and verdant vegetation, the hiker is treated to an uphill climb with magnificent views predominantly of the southwestern San Gorgonio Wilderness and surrounding areas.
