Trail description

A rewarding climb from Idyllwild up the Deer Springs Trail to the granite dome of Suicide Rock. The path switchbacks through fragrant cedar and pine forest before reaching the broad open summit slabs. From the rock there are sweeping views across Strawberry Valley to Tahquitz Peak and Marion Mountain. A wilderness permit is needed for the Deer Springs Trail.
