The Hinterland is a climbing area in the San Jacinto Wilderness, part of the San Jacinto Ranger District of San Bernardino National Forest in California. The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits within designated wilderness. Two alpine routes stand out here: Billy Goat Stoke, a 5.5, and Rescue Arete, a 5.10a. Both are alpine in style, and the grade range from 5.5 to 5.10a makes this a destination for climbers looking for a challenge on the rock. The Hinterland Wall and Key Hole Tower both lie about 0.1 mile away, and Devil's Slide and the Ernie Maxwell Scenic Trail are within a mile. For an overnight stay, Fern Basin campground is about 3.9 miles off.
