Horseback ride Saturday in Wildwood Canyon State Park

Saddle up for a ride in the park

Own a horse? Looking for somewhere to ride tomorrow? Then you may want to saddle up and join in the fun at Willdwood Canyon State Park in Yucaipa.

Horseback riders will ride the trails in the park, then come back for Chili-Dog treats. No hiking is planned. No bikes or motorcycles allowed.

"There's miles and miles of winding trails and ridges," said Ray Monroe, vice president of Supporters of Wildwood Canyon State Park. "There's wildlife such as deer, bobcat, mountain lion, coyotes, rabbits, and bear. There is always something to see."

The 900-acre park has two historic ranches, The McCullough, also referred to as the "High Up Ranch," and the Hunt Ranch. Both ranches have state park designation, said Monroe. And they are near the trails for riders to see.

The ride begins Saturday, Sept. 13 at 9 a.m. with the day's activities lasting until about noon. Wildwood Canyon Park is located off Canyon Road (located near Wildwood Canyon Park), which branches off Wildwood Canyon Drive.
