Indian Mountain trail is positioned amongst an array of challenging offshoots and trails that we will add on to our day ... probably finish up about 3:00 .. IF .. all goes well !!!
Indian Mountain is a two-way trail between the Banning-Idyllwild Panoramic Highway (SR 243) and the San Jacinto Ridge Trail (FS 5S09) in the San Bernardino National Forest. Comprised of mostly hard-pack dirt, the trail weaves through chaparral and pine trees to the summit of Indian Mountain at 5,790 feet. Breathtaking views of Hemet and Diamond Valley Lake are visible to the west, while Mount San Jacinto towers overhead to the east at 10,800 feet. The most significant obstacles are steep climbs and deep cross-trail rain ruts that will test the suspension capabilities of most street-legal vehicles. Sway bar disconnects and limited-slip or locking differentials are highly recommended due to the likelihood of momentary tire lifting.
The trail can be traveled in either direction.
However, less capable vehicles should transit north to south due to steep off-camber climbs when traveling in the opposite direction.
