The San Gorgonio Pass Unit was formed in October 1994 by a group of folks,
consisting of two members of the Santa Ana Unit, both of whom lived in the desert, a member at large who resided in Yucca Valley, a horse vet, two hikers and at least three other equestrians.
At this time, there was a question of whether horse use would be eliminated from Joshua Tree National Park. These folks were all actively attending the planning meetings at Joshua Tree.
We felt if we formed a unit of Backcountry Horseman we would have more impact on these issues.
We held our first meeting in Cabazon at the Wheel Inn in October 1994.
And now we have over a 125 members and growing.
