This blog will detail 1,000 video hikes in Southern California. By Southern California, I am drawing a line from San Luis Obispo to the Nevada Border. Anything south of that line will be declared "Southern California". In a way, it is a personal challenge to do so many hikes. Mainly, however, it is my way of showcasing how many hiking opportunities there really are right in our own geographic back yard. As a blog, it serves as a companion piece to my Youtube channel "1,000 Hikes in So Cal". It is also a work in progress, as I don't actually have 1,000 edited videos completed. This will take effort for quite some time before it is declared done. Even then, there will still be more out there. Here's to hiking and all the positive effects it has had on my life...and possibly yours!
Not really much of a hiking location, being that it is in the middle of the city (and also in the middle of a memorial park), Pinkerton Hill marks a significant high point in Riverside. However, since it is undeveloped, it makes a great spot to elevate to a nice natural city viewing platform.
Cemetery Ridge.
Parking is in Olivewood Cemetery, or on nearby Dakota Avenue. The hike quickly elevates to twin peaks on a short ridge. One being Cemetery Ridge, and the higher one being Pinkerton Hill. Visiting both takes little effort, but that little effort is rewarded with great views.
Overlooking the 91 Freeway.
Admittedly, it is a little bit morbid hanging around a memorial park, but it is a nice leg stretcher when in the area.
