Once across Mill Creek, start the Momyer Creek Trail on the right of the sign. The beginning can be hard to spot.
Crossing Mill Creek is always a new experience. The trail changes based on water flow and changing conditions. And the stream can be high or low. The key is to look for the big brown sign on the other side and make your way toward it.
Here’s Dobbs Cabin around 1900. The picturesque cabin, visited by tourists guided by John Dobbs, was featured in postcards at the time. Photo Pioneers of Mill Creek Canyon
After crossing Mill Creek wash, we’ll climb up a few miles before heading along the ridge, crossing the Alger Creek drainage, and coming around to Falls Creek and Dobbs Cabin
Here’s the one-way elevation profile. The trail eases into a climb that ends once entering the San Gorgonio Wilderness boundary. From there it’s rolling terrain that falls on the side of uphill as you head toward Dobbs Cabin.
