A 360 degree panoramic view just outside of the now closed South Eastern park entrance next to the Green River golf course.  The Santa Ana River trail is less than 1 mile away on the other side of this golf course, but local political restrictions make the connecting journey virtually impossible. The Prado Dam parking area is now also closed. Click here for a larger view from this location.
