Mountain Center Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Sometimes, when we allow our grip on reality to loosen, even just a little, our imagination can run wild. It can be accentuated even more when it’s a dark, damp day and the fog rolls in around an already creepy tree. #scourchedeath #forestfires #idyllwild #mysticalforest #burnedwood #mysterioustrees #cranstonfire #mountaincenter #lonecoyotestudio #lostinfog #burnedtrees #ent #mtsanjacinto #thomasmountain #hauntedtrees #nealdodson #lakehemet #wonderingphotographies #destinationphotography #fireart #creativeeye #rebirth #regeneration #lifefromdeath #californiafires #californiafires2018 #thrivingchristianartists #walkinginthewoods #roadsidephotographies #walkingwithgod

Drove up to Mt. San Jacinto looking for images of burned oaks from last years fire. Found inspiration in the clouds. #deadoaks #burnedoak #mysticaltrees #hauntedtrees #hauntedoaks #hauntedoak #mystictrees #oaksinthefog #mountaincenter #mtsanjacinto #hemetvalley #cranstonfires #ribbonwood #ribbonfire #idyllwild #thomasmountain #pinestopalmshighway #hurkeycreekpark #lakehemet #lonecoyotestudio #nealdodson
This tree grabbed my attention when I was driving through a recently burned area. It reminded me that even when things are ravaged by fire, new life can still grow. While the exterior was scorched, the tree was still alive. In life the same is true. Even in the darkest of moments we can still find hope. #scourchedeath #forestfires #idyllwild #mysticalforest #burnedwood #mysterioustrees #cranstonfire #mountaincenter #lonecoyotestudio #lostinfog #burnedtrees #ent #mtsanjacinto #thomasmountain #hauntedtrees #nealdodson #lakehemet #wonderingphotographies #destinationphotography #fireart #creativeeye #rebirth #regeneration #lifefromdeath #californiafires #californiafires2018 #thrivingchristianartists #walkinginthewoods #roadsidephotographies #walkingwithgod

Room was clean and staff quickly addressed a plumbing issue in the bathroom. Housekeeping was also very good. Highlight of our stay was the swimming pool, near by lazy river, and slides. Guards were friendly and helpful.
