Pacific Crest Trail - North of Warner Springs

Roly-Poly and Sabertooth tackled a cold night on the Pacific Crest Trail North of Warner Springs. Nice elevation climb brought on some amazing views. Fresh deer and coyote tracks outside our camp the next morning! Start GPS: 33.329940, -116.640424 Campsite GPS: 33.352282, -116.608625 Our campsite was in a dried up river bed. If there is any possibility of rain, I would not recommend this site. There were other possible camp spots further East of the trail. Warner Springs; The Cupeño people were long time indigenous inhabitants of the Warner Springs area. The Cupeño / Cahuilla Agua Caliente rancheria village was located at the hot springs located here. The hot springs were "rediscovered" by Spanish explorers of upper Las Californias province in 1795. William Henshaw purchased the Warner Springs Ranch in 1911, and had Henshaw Dam completed by latter 1922 and its reservoir filled by 1924. In 1978 the reservoir level was lowered 40% due to danger from the Elsinore Fault Zone running beneath the dam. Several Warner Spring sites and buildings were designated California Historical Landmarks, & National Historic Landmarks.
