Hi! My name is CHEEKERS. I hope to see you at this year's Pine Cone Festival!
NOTE: Festival is held IN the forest, walking area is a natural surface, flat with some irregularities as this is not a paved or concrete trail.
At our last event in 2019, more than 100 visitors took a beautiful one or two mile Nature Walk through the Forest and discover more about the mountains' flora and fauna! You can choose between a guided tour or to walk independently. Those who successfully complete the two mile walk will receive this cool commemorative Pine Cone Festival pin. Those who do the shorter one mile walk and receive a Festival magnet. Thanks to Church of the Woods and Rim Nordic for sponsoring this activity!
The Festival is held annually on the
FIRST SATURDAY
of October!
See you there!
Thanks to the Inland Empire Prospectors & Miners Club, folks can have fun panning for GOLD!
