The Devil's Slide Trail is a great dayhike. For those in condition, it's 
not as bad as this thread might make it sound. (I can think of several far
worse [better?] trails in So. Cal - the Bear Flats way up Baldy for one.)

There is no exposure on the trail at all. Yes if you walk to the (down) side
of the trail and hurl yourself off, you will roll a long way. But only 
extreme acrophobes need worry.

BTW, permits are required for dayhikes in the San Jacinto State Park. Lots
of times they are hard to get.

Russ.
