Villager Peak
About
Villager Peak is a summit of 5,742 feet in California's Riverside Unit, about 10 miles from the town of Desert Shores. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Julian show May highs around 69°F and October highs around 71°F, while July and August average highs near 86°F. That station sits well below the peak, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Rabbit Peak Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Villager Peak Trail and Truckhaven Trail are both about 6 miles off. Calcite Mine Slot Canyon lies roughly 9 miles away.
