A wilderness park of more than 400 acres in the Santa Rosa Hills southeast of town (28505 Rawlings Rd.), rising to about 2,500 feet with views over the San Jacinto Valley and Diamond Valley Lake. It has a sheltered picnic area with barbecues, restrooms, and hiking, mountain-bike and equestrian trails. Gates close automatically at 8 p.m., so have your car out before then.
