The Adventure Pass is a little parking pass thing you have to get if you want to use National Forest Land here in SoCal. Usually, you can pick them up at Ranger Stations, online, or usually at outdoorsy stores near the Forest boundaries — like at REI, Sports Chalet, etc. Sometimes, gas stations will even sell them. Check out this site for info on passes in your area, and happy hiking! http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/sanbernardino/ap/ - Casey Huyen,

It was do-able, but it took us a long time to hike a pretty short distance, and there's really no shade at all on this trail -- but it did make swimming in the river all the more refreshing. I'd suggest late Spring (like, now! Depending on the overnights, of course) or early Fall as the ideal times to visit. You've got a better chance at high water levels in the Spring, though. Let us know how it goes if you head out! Mike,

What time of year would suggest doing this hike in? I would like to avoid the extreme heat if possible. Thanks. Looks beautiful. What time of year would suggest doing this hike in?
