Pumpkin Rock

Cappie’s Scoop: I like to pick pumpkins and I like to help mom carve them. She always carves bones on my pumpkin! But one time we hiked up to a huge pumpkin that sat on a hill. I gave it a smell and it’s a ROCK! I tried to get on top but it was way too high for me to jump on. It definitely puts you in the fall mood for crunchy leaves, homemade pumpkin doggie treats (hint, hint mom), and pumpkin spice lattes (for mom). I told mom to put a picture of us with our pumpkins because the pumpkin rock had a lot of yucky writing on it at the time we visited. Friends of this big pumpkin come by to paint it every so often which is very nice of them. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: This hike is extremely popular around Halloween so be prepared for crowds.

Directions: Can use address for George Ingalls Equestrian Event Center, 3737 Crestview Dr, Norco, CA 92860. Follow the directions to the trailhead address, which is the equestrian center. There’s plenty of parking. Just be mindful of a few “no parking” signs along some sections. The trailhead is right at the entrance to the parking lot. Note that there’s a “Pumpkin Rock Trailhead” location on Google, which is not this trailhead. You can hike there from that location but it’s steeper, only offers street parking in a residential neighborhood, and isn’t near restrooms.
