Hike: Wind Wolves Preserve (Tule Elk Trail) / March 2020

Hike: Wind Wolves Preserve (Tule Elk Trail) / March 2020

We've been to the Wind Wolves Preserve numerous times. It can be brutal in the summer (as many hikes can in southern California) but in the spring, cool, foggy and lush. Almost mysterious really. The first mile or so is pleasant if not mundane, then you begin the climb up the first and most imposing, hill. That leads deep into the verdant (at least at this time of the year) rolling hills of the San Emigdio Canyon. About 3 miles in you come upon... a massive flock of sheep (and a lone bored looking sheep herder, or, more accurately, sheep watcher.) You can proceed past the curious and hungry sheep deeper into the canyon. In fact you can go in as deep as you want, really.

Length: 6 miles / Elevation gain: 1,100' / Highest Elevation Point: 2,552'.
