The Santa Rosa Truck Trail just opened up this season (I drove it on the weekend of 5/16/20). It's a fun and easy fire road up Santa Rosa Mountain from Highway 74. The wildflowers were in bloom and the weather was ideal for a weekend of car camping in the Yellow Post camp sites. We managed to snag sites 5 and 9, which are on the top of the peak, with views of Coachella Valley, San Jacinto Peak, and the Anza Borrego wilderness. Truly spectacular.
