Mount Rubidoux, Riverside, CA (In Progress)

A soundwalk for Mt. Rubidoux in Riverside, California:

Along with the "Three Sisters" and "The Arrowhead," Mount Rubidoux is one the major geographic marker of the Inland Empire and is at least as such for the city of Riverside, California.

While most folks associated the hill with the city, or perhaps the Santa Ana River that carves around its base, what most know about its past is its namesake, the Californio Rancher Louis Rubidoux, but even more likely, folks know of the giant and controversial cross that honors Junipero Serra at its summit.

The Cahuilla call it Pachappa.

We invite you to climb the hill and learn more about the landscape and its past along the way.
