YUCAIPA RIDGE ACCESS

Much of Yucaipa Ridge is owned by the Wildlands Conservancy. The usual car shuttle route starts at Vivian Creek Trailhead and finishes at Bear Paw Preserve. Bear Paw Preserve is also a good trailhead for a simple hike to Allen Peak. You must make arrangements in advance. The following information was current as of summer of 2010. Please send any updates to the HPS Mountains Records Chair.

1. Call Evan Welsh at (909) 790-3698. He manages the Oak Glen Preserve and Bear Paw Preserve for The Wildlands Conservancy.
2. He sends an e-mail that contains a liability waiver form. He asked that the leaders fill, sign, and mail back their own individual forms. The leaders then turn in each participant's form to the resident at the preserve on the day of the outing.
3. Call him back on the Friday before the hike to get the current gate code, if one wishes to park next to the bathrooms.
