Dripping Springs Trailhead Distance 10 - 30 miles depending on trail connections Pets Allowed Yes Fees Adventure Pass Fee Required Hike/Ride Time Full day Difficulty Moderate - Difficult Best Seasons Fall, Spring Location Located 11 miles off Hwy 79 in Temecula Ranger District Palomar Ranger District - (760)788-6130 With 4 connecting trail options, including Dripping Springs, Wildhorse, Palomar Magee, and Cutca, great views of the "Big Four" peaks to the north (Santiago Peak, Mt. Baldy, San Gorgonio, and San Jacinto) as well as wide ranging views of Vail lake, Temecula Valley and open countryside, Dripping Springs provides many great options for the recreational day user. Those looking for overnight camping accomodations after a long day on the trails can cozy up under the stars at the Dripping Springs Campground. Since these trails typically offer little shade, it is not recommended for the summer months, as temperatures typically hit triple digits. Fall and Spring bring colorful foliage and lovely wildflowers (after the rain) and are considered the best times of the year. Much of the area receives light use, which provides a pleasant and tranquil outdoor experience.
