The Road to Wind Wolves Preserve heads south from Highway 166, between Maricopa and Interstate 5; it is marked by a “Wind Wolves Preserve” sign. Look for this sign on the south side of Highway 166, 1.8 miles west of the junction with Old River Road (if you are driving west), or 13 miles from Maricopa (if you are driving east). Travel south for three miles; turn right at a second “Wind Wolves Preserve” sign and proceed through the entrance gate. In about 1/2 mile you will come to a “Y” in the road, take the left fork toward “San Emigdio Canyon Trailhead””. Stay on the paved road till you reach a graveled parking lot. Go through the parking lot, cross San Emigdio Creek and go straight up the hill to The Crossing.
