Hike #67 Horsethief Canyon

52 Hike Challenge Adventure Series

3.5 miles | +500'





"The Cleveland National Forest's Pine Creek Wilderness, created in 1984, encompasses more than 13,000 acres of chaparral covered slopes and riparian woodland south and west of the Laguna Mountains. A 15 mile stretch of Pine Valley Creek meanders through the heart of the wilderness, flanked by sloping walls up to 1000 feet high. Motorists eastbound on Interstate 8 can catch a glimpse of this impressive gorge when crossing the Pine Valley Bridge, the highest bridge in the Interstate Highway System." -Jerry Schad
