Confirmed from Humber Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park for hiking with varied trails and scenic views, including Tahquitz Rock.
What runners say about Humber Park
“We hiked for about a mile until we found the perfect spot, which included a stunning view of Tahquitz Rock (Lily Rock).”
As a wedding and elopement photographer, I had the pleasure of hiking and capturing some amazing portraits here for my clients. We entered through the Devil's Slide Trail late afternoon. The trail was easy to access and spacious.
It's gorgeous up here, the top of Idyllwild CA. We didn't know you needed a hiking pass for Devils Slide trail, they have park personnel attending the entrance to that hike asking for your pass however there are a few other hikes here you can do without a pass.
Hiked Devil's Slide to Taqhuitz (peak) Fire Lookout... Awesome trail, well maintained, populated, but not too much. The view at the lookout is spectacular! We came across a Forest Park Ranger, who was friendly and available to answer any questions or concerns.
A great trailhead park with access to multiple choices of trails and hikes. A few picnic tables available to use before or after your hike and bathrooms. Beautiful scenery. The trails are great and beautiful and you can’t go wrong with any hike in this area.
