Toro Peak, Summit in Santa Rosa Mountains, California, United States
Toro Peak rises to an elevation of 8,716 feet with a prominent outline visible from Palm Springs and the surrounding Riverside County valleys.
The mountain's summit has been under the protection of the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation, marked by a United States Geological Survey marker since its establishment.
The peak represents a natural boundary within the San Bernardino National Forest, connecting multiple recreational paths used by mountaineers throughout different seasons.
Access requires a 13-mile drive on dirt roads starting from California State Route 74, followed by a 500-foot hike from the restricted gate.
The mountain supports an uncommon combination of Incense Cedar, White Fir, Jeffrey Pine, and Limber Pine trees, defying typical California elevation patterns.
