Pacific Crest Trail
The Pacific Crest Trail goes directly through Cajon Pass, and during the hiking season up to several hundred thru-hikers will pass through this area after walking one of the hottest, driest, and most grueling sections of desert on the trail. The McDonalds restaurant at the pass happens to be very close to the trail, and it is famous among thru-hikers (who often arrive dehydrated), and most will stop here for water and salty food. Many hikers also spend the night in the one motel at Cajon Pass.

Famous quotes containing the words pacific, crest and/or trail:
“Really, there is no infidelity, nowadays, so great as that which prays, and keeps the Sabbath, and rebuilds the churches. The sealer of the South Pacific preaches a truer doctrine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“To be thoroughly modern, an aphorism should trail off vaguely rather than coming to a point.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
