Idyllwild–Pine Cove

Idyllwild, Pine Cove, and Fern Valley are three adjacent unincorporated communities in the San Jacinto Mountains in Riverside County, California, United States. Idyllwild is the largest of the three. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Idyllwild–Pine Cove as a census-designated place . The CDP's population was 3,874 at the 2010 census, up from 3,504 as of the 2000 census.

"Mile-high Idyllwild" is a popular southern California mountain resort about one mile in altitude. Idyllwild is flanked by two large rock formations, Tahquitz Rock and Suicide Rock, which are famous in Southern California rock-climbing circles. One of Idyllwild's attractions is that it offers all four seasons, yet in winter is only an hour's drive down to the desert on the Pines to Palms Scenic Byway. It offers no skiing, so "the Hill" has been minimally developed over the years and remains a center for hiking, mountain and rock climbing, mountain biking, and horseback riding.
