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:
“We, the lineal representatives of the successful enactors of one scene of slaughter after another, must, whatever more pacific virtues we may also possess, still carry about with us, ready at any moment to burst into flame, the smoldering and sinister traits of character by means of which they lived through so many massacres, harming others, but themselves unharmed.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To be thoroughly modern, an aphorism should trail off vaguely rather than coming to a point.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
