The trailhead sits at approximately 6,900 feet along Jenks Lake Road, which is about 2.5 miles from Highway 38. Along the trail, hikers follow a gradually ascending path through the surrounding forest toward South Fork Meadows. From there, hikers can turn left toward Dry Lake, which sits at an elevation of approximately 9,000 feet.

San Bernardino County history: Reche Canyon
 Reche Canyon.
Reche Canyon, historically known as Homhoa Canyon and Homuba Canyon, is located in the northwestern foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains.
In 1861, Anthony and Menora Reche left New York and traveled west. They ended up settling in San Bernardino after hearing news of a local gold rush in the mountains. Anthony opened a grocery store and helped build the first mill in the newly established town. Unfortunately, the flood of 1862 destroyed both businesses, forcing him to start over.

Meet Tristan, the foxiest shepherd mix you’ll ever lay eyes on! This one-year-old, medium-sized canid sports a slender frame, a silky-soft coat, and a face that looks like he wandered straight out of a fairytale.
Tristan is utterly convinced that pets are one of the greatest inventions of all time — second only to snacks, of course. He’s delightfully food‑motivated, people‑loving and always ready to charm anyone within petting distance. Sweet silly, and full of foxlike flair, Tristan is a little spark of whimsy wrapped in golden-hearted joy.
