Over the years, I have led day trips to Idyllwild, which is my favorite mountain town in SoCal. Well, its been several years since I have last hosted a visit and I found out that a site I have been wanting to visit but haven't yet done so will be closing permanently at the end of May. That site is the Alpenglow Lilac Gardens. The owner is now too old to maintain the garden so he is retiring and making this the last Spring we can admire the lilac flower garden he has created over the course of many years. So I want to head back up there to check out the garden, but also enjoy their wonderful bakery, some scenic points of interest, and do a hiking trail or two. So come join me for a full day of fun and adventure in Idyllwild!
