Yes, not the trail I remembered. Coyote Canyon trail decends Anza Ridge along a shelf road known as the Turkey Grade, a rough road cut by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. This used to be the major difficulty encountered along the trail. Towards the bottom, the ruts were large enough to easily leave a Jeep on it's side if care was not taken. But no more. Yes, Horse Canyon did indeed make up for it.
Coyote Canyon is a wide, deep canyon along the San Jacinto Fault, one the major branches of the San Andreas Fault. It seperates the Santa Rosa Mountains to the north from the San Ysidro Mountains to the south. Juan Bautista de Anza opened up the first European route through this area in 1774.
Lunch in Adler Canyon. Also a good spot to camp.
End of Adler Canyon.
Lined up and ready to take on Horse Canyon!
Danger along the trail!!!
And damage.
Awesome trip! We'll have to do it again later this year.
