My husband and I love Idyllwild, but it is a challenge to find things to do for kids, especially disabled ones who can't hike the steep slopes of even the easiest trail, Ernie Maxwell. We found Lake Foster had flat trails and was beautiful, even tho the lake is dry, but signs said "Closed indefinitely" and "No Trespassing". We drove to Lake Fulmor, and although the trails were paved, wide and flat, they were in terrible condition, actually broke a wheel off my daughter's "Upwalker" a mobility device that contains a seat if she becomes too tired to walk. FYI, wheeled mobility devices can go on packed dirt, concrete or asphalt (usually!), but NOT gravel, bark, mud etc. Restrooms not open. Wish there was a swimming spot in Idyllwild.. Both of my disabled kids are expert swimmers. Loved not having to eat out every meal (cabin with kitchen.) All the restaurants in town are very expensive except La Casita. We eat there once every time.
