Recreational Trail
The trail on the historic route within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park ends at private land and commences again on U.S. Forest Service land. This trail is proposed to continue along the San Jacinto River.

The City of Riverside Trails Master Plan identifies trails which approximate the historic route and which connect to the existing Santa Ana River National Recreation Trail. This river trail could be used to skirt highly urbanized areas in San Bernardino County to connect with the County of Los Angeles Schabarum Trail via planned open space on the San Bernardino-Orange County line south of the Chino Hills. These trail connections could be marked as recreational links to the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail and would provide an offroad recreational experience of an environment somewhat similar to that Anza experienced.

A bicycle route could follow existing Bautista Canyon Road to a proposed multiuse Class I bikeway and equestrian trail along the south side of the San Jacinto River through Bernasconi Pass to Lake Perris Recreation Area.

Auto Route (marked)
Four-wheel drive vehicles may be able to follow the historic route through a part of Coyote Canyon. For a through route, vehicles will need to follow S22 to state route 79 north, to state route 371 west, and to Bautista Canyon Road north. Road conditions through the canyon should be verified. Bautista Canyon Road becomes Fairview Avenue. Follow this to Florida Avenue, turn west on Florida Avenue to the Ramona Expressway to I-215 northwest to state highway 60. 

Auto Tour (guide book)
The county task force identified a scenic route from I-215 which links historic sites and points of interest. From I-215, take the Alessandro Boulevard exit, west and northwest to Chicago Avenue, north to 14th Street and Market Street, northeast to Mission Boulevard, northwest to Limonite Avenue, west to Van Buren Boulevard northwest which becomes Mission Boulevard as it passes out of the county. Within San Bernardino County, follow Mission Boulevard to Euclid Avenue north, and within the City of Ontario, turn west on Arrow Highway. Follow Arrow Highway to Claremont in Los Angeles County.

Historians in Riverside County urged that the plan begin with Anza's first expedition and that historic uses of the trail which predate Anza should be better spelled out. 

For instance, Phil Brigandi stated the following: "The history of the trail could properly be said to begin with Sebastian Tarabal, and the others who traveled portions of the route before Anza (there is good argument, for example, that Pedro Fages and his men traversed Coyote Canyon before him). And Bancroft's History of California (v. I, pp 353-371) lists at least 23 treks on the desert portion of the trail after Anza. Most of these trips were associated with the mission outposts of San Pedro y San Pablo, and La Purisima Concepcion on the Colorado River." (alternatives review, October 4, 1993)

With the selected plan, layering of history would not be part of the official interpretation of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. The first Anza expedition would be included in interpretation as it was essential to the success of the colonizing trip.

Notes:
1. Participants in public meetings and those who reviewed the alternatives noted that much of Bautista Canyon is shown on the county transportation plan as a 4-lane highway. They further noted that this proposal would jeopardize the historic route and should be removed from county plans.

2. This task force stated strongly that trail use, public awareness, and promotion should enhance protection of the sensitive environment along the trail route in both San Diego and Riverside counties.
