Get to the trailhead early, as this is a popular trail. For the Devil's Slide Trail, which we took, permits are limited in the summer and on weekends, so must be obtained in person. As we were hiking on a fall weekday, we were able to get the required day-use wilderness trail permit by scanning a QR code at the Idyllwild Ranger Station. An Adventure Pass is also required for parking. The trail is easy to follow, with good footing, a lovely walk through pine trees, and nice views. Our full trip report is at
