Stephen+with+pinecone.jpg

When I first made my journey “up the hill,” I discovered an isolated town nestled in wilderness and brimming with music, artists, food and culture.  Since then, I have been on a quest to discover the fascinating history of this one-of-a-kind California town and its residents and local artisans. Please join me and explore a taste of wilds.

Pick from a few favorite activities or allow me to design a customized, guided experience based on your interests and activity comfort. Along our path through the wilderness, you will learn interesting insights and taste local favorites while learning some interesting local history for an unforgettable group adventure.

Marc & Family:

“One of the best ½ days I’ve ever spent discovering a Southern California treasure that we never knew existed.  We just didn’t want it to end.”

Margo:

“Stephen is the Idyllwild Host with the MOST, capable of satisfying most anything from where to get the best milkshake, gluten-free donut, organic coffee and tea or homemade meals.  We discovered a memorable hike with Stephen and he was able to recommend whatever you may be seeking that’s tucked away in the forest of this great little town.”
