- Rabbit Peak and Villager Peak are located in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park off of Route S-22, in the Santa Rosa Mountains in the Peninsular Ranges of Southern California. This ascent includes nearly 23 miles and 8,600 feet of vertical gain. No animals were hurt in the making of this video...well, maybe a little, but he's fine now.

I absolutely need to address the fact that I totally messed up and unknowingly brought a dog to a California State Park, which I did not know was not allowed. There were no signs indicating this at the trailhead (which is basically just a turnout off the road). I adopted Canelo at the age of 4 and had him for a bout four months when this outing took place, so excuse me for not being very well versed in outdoor travel with four legged friends. I've since put a lot more effort into ensuring I am following the rules with this kind of thing. Thanks for understanding and I hope you can enjoy the video anyway.
Found your channel love your adventures. Great dog!
Thank you so much! Hopefully I can get some more videos up soon. Really enjoy making them. thanks for watching.
We did Villager in April 2022 and dropped 2L of water along the way at one point for the return. I definitely want to do Rabbit someday, but I'll make it a 2 day trip and drop water for the return trip. You should look up Lorenzen's Peak (aka Dawns Peak) from Rockhouse Canyon. There's a huge rock spire on top of that one. I'm aiming to do that one this winter in an overnight trip.
Woah. Good info! I will put this in my notes. Thank you!
Thought dogs weren't allowed on any trails etc in the State Park? I wouldn't take our huskies through that cactus obstacle course, but always looking for new areas to explore with them.
Oh man. This was unknown to me. Thank you for the information. Next time, I'll check before I go.
@@trvrsoutdoors Ya. State Parks are pretty much all the same I believe. Sometimes dogs are allowed on roads and in campsites but most I've seen do not allow them anywhere else. Too bad as there are a few places I'd like to backpack but I almost always bring a dog.
Great hike. I think I'll do that one. Might do an overnight though. 2 half days. I like sleeping outside.
@@HuskyMike This is my first time having a dog (been a couple months). It's definitely hard or even think about leaving him behind, but I do some gnarly routes and what I've found is that he is basically like a really bad partner on some of the more rugged ascents. He is such a a great companion on these treks. Thanks again for the info, this will go a long way for future planning. And thanks for watching!
@@HeyItsTimtotally understand that. Id probably have backpacked it if I had the time and if there was water along the route. I had to settle for the parking lot this time around, but I did get to sleep under the stars in a fairly remote place. I think the benefit to backpacking here is the sunrise/set. Worth the weight.
