"Peak 2165 was the main destination this time around. While looking for the access trail, I climbed to about a quarter mile from the top of Blue Mountain, so I went ahead and included it on the hike. The Peak 2165 access trail cuts the slope of Blue Mountain to Peak 2165’s base. I headed up a dirt bikers trail until it intersected a wild burrow trail. The wild burrow trail led me to the summit. I formed a loop going back by incorporating use trails and some surprisingly good wild burro trails which wrapped around the lower slopes and returned me to where I started." — MikeTeeples • Nov 24, 2024

"Started the hike from the Reche Canyon side of Westwood Road. This is a different starting point from my last visit. The previous starting point was blocked off and still remains so. Followed the dirt road all the way to the top, with some of Riverside’s best views." — MikeTeeples • Nov 11, 2024

"Parked on Blaine St in the box spring park area at the end of the street and walked along the rail road and hiked up the trail that takes you to the big C and from the continued up the ridge to the summit of Box Spring mountain the views where incredible since the visibility was really clear this morning the trail was really really steep the first mile and half but once you passed the C and got up the ridge it was gradual the rest of the way it was honestly my favorite way to summit the mountain 7.5 miles RT Elevation gain 2,142 ft " — Socalhiker12 • Oct 19, 2024
