This Saturday, commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corps‘ work at Mount San Jacinto State Park in a day-long celebration including guest speakers, displays of historic architecture and stonework, a spike-camp demonstration, and rare film footage of the CCC crews at work in the forest.
The night will conclude with a campfire tribute to the Corps, complete with hot chocolate and cider.
The activities begin at the State Park at 10AM in Idyllwild. If you can, try to snag a camp site and tackle one of the local peaks to make a full weekend out of it!

Just noticed your blog post. Small world, because my fiance, our families, and I were there camping this weekend. We saw the CCC celebration, but didn’t attend… had a couple hikes planned for the kids that day.
The Idyllwild/MSJSP campground is beautiful. Our first time staying there, but it won’t be our last.
