Sunscreen, old shoes you don't mind to get wet and dirty, hats, sunglasses, sunglasses. Super family fun! picture worthy.

Travel down HWY 111, turn left at Monterey/74 and enjoy the ride up 74. SugarLoaf Mountain Cafe at the top has excellent food and so does the diner, I think it's called Paradise at the Anza/Temecula split. Idyllwild is up the mountain, through Gardenerville with it's picturesque horse properties, past Lake Hemet which is a fun place to camp or just go out to the lake for the day. Past Hurkey Creek on the right, great for camping. The town features great restaurants and shops. Also, stay a night at the BlueBird Lodge for a very reasonable price. Make sure to stop at the ranger station in town to get a pass to go up the road and go hiking to the bottom of Taquitiz Rock. Dogs allowed in town and infant was voted the most dog friendly town. But not not he trails.
