The History of the Pines-to-Palms Highway: The Story of J. Win Wilson, Wilson Howell, and Their Efforts to Bring About One of California’s Most Scenic Byways
No Customer Reviews
The Pines-to-Palms Highway, a part of the present-day Highway 74 in Riverside County, California, is one of the most scenic drives in all of the state. In just 35 miles, one can travel between the desert environment of the Coachella Valley to the Alpine portions of the San Jacinto Mountains. Two men, J. Win Wilson, and Wilson Howell, worked together to secure the construction of this road by Riverside County and the Federal Government. When it opened in June, 1932, its popularity was unequaled. Illustrated with dozens of color photographs, this book traces the origins of the highway, and the efforts by Wilson and Howell to bring about this gem of the San Jacinto Mountains.
