If you have more time, explore more of the Idyllwild Region. More adventurous travelers can go rock climbing or try horse-riding.
For travelers with less time, consider visiting a singular attraction such as Nature Center or instead of visiting gastronomical offerings, dine with their favourite snacks in a getaway into nature. Omit any of the suggested activities for a more relaxed pace.
