I: Backus Peak (6651'), Russell Peak (6696') - As one drives north from Mojave, these peaks rise magnificently into view, beckoning for a visit, inviting a ridge traverse between the two.

The other is aptly named. While one of the canyons is rumored to have been the hideout of Joaquin Murietta, another, Old Man Canyon, was named for Jose Ortega, a descendent of a member of the Portola expedition, 1769-1770, "the first recorded European land entry and exploration of present-day California".

O: Suicide Rock (7528'), Indian Mtn (5790'), Thomas Mtn (6825') - Enjoy the multitude and variety of great views accompanying our visit to these peaks near Idyllwild.

Suicide Rock is linked to efforts to boost late 19th century tourism with the telling of a story that has elements of Ramona and Romeo & Juliet -- an Indian princess and her lover jump to their death, rather than live separated from one another. And, one of the approaches to Thomas Mtn is via the pretty Ramona Trail. Visit one, two or all three peaks with us. Suicide Rock will be 6.6 miles round trip with 1850' gain; Indian Mtn will be 4 mi rt and 800' gain; and, Thomas will be gained with a drive up to its beautiful summit.
