About
The aptly named Devil's Punchbowl is a spectacular geological formation that looks like a huge, jagged rock bowl. The 1,310-acre park includes the punchbowl, other rugged wilderness rock formations along the San Andreas Fault, a seasonal stream, several hiking and equestrian trails, picnic areas and a small nature center.
The terrain is diverse, ranging from desert plants to pine trees, as the elevation ranges from 4,200 feet to 6,500 feet. Rock climbing is a popular sport here, whether you are interested in merely climbing on boulders or scaling sheer rock walls. There are several hiking trails of different difficulties. A hike down into the punchbowl and back up along a looping trail takes about 30 minutes.
The small nature center contains a few preserved animals and displays about the region. A few owls and hawks live in cages outside the center. -- Susan Peterson
