We stopped once in the rocky area a mile or two out of Banning to look for Xantusia henshawi and Phyllodactylus tuberculosus, but we didn't find any of either. Our next stop was on a branch of the San Jacinto River. We caught several Sceloporus gracilis here, as well as some Sceloporus occidentalis. After lunch, we drove through Idyllwild to Mountain Center, where we turned left on State Highway 74 toward the desert. We turned right at Paradise Valley Junction toward Anza, Cabilla & Aguanga. At Aguanga we turned left on State Highway 79. We continued on this road until we were about 6 miles south of Julian. At this point we turned onto Sunrise Highway, which goes through the beautiful Laguna Mts. We then turned left onto Highway 80.
