Share Your Idyllwild Story

We’re gathering real stories from people who’ve been touched by this mountain—whether you've lived here for decades, visited once, or found something unexpected in the trees.

Funny, sweet, messy, magical—we want to hear it all.

Did you fall in love here?
Get lost on a trail?
Find peace?
Start over?

Your story doesn’t have to be long or perfect. It just has to be yours.

Write it! Send it!

How It Works

Stories will be shared on my website and social media as part of the Idyllwild Stories project—celebrating the spirit of this place through real voices. You can choose to share your name, or submit anonymously.

Stories will be published as submitted, unless they include offensive language or identify others in a negative light. This project is meant to enlighten, inspire, intrigue, and amuse—not to call anyone out.

By sending in your story, you're giving permission for it to be shared publicly, with minimal editing (if any), and always with care.

Please note: Not every story will be published, but all will be appreciated. Thank you for being part of this
