Take the San Jacinto Ridge Truck Trail entering from Pine Cove Market to reach the North Fork Oasis which is one of the most picturesque forest drives, V Indiana Jones! & you end at this beautiful stream oasis. Will need 4WD / AWD with good clearance unfortunately… my AWD Toyota Rav4 made it once but got stuck twice lol. Off-roading in Idyllwild is easily my favorite.
