Hello Idyllwild!
The Idyllwild Shuttle Service is a non profit organization run by Forest Folk Inc.
We are conducting a survey of your satisfaction with our van service. As all of us are getting to know our beautiful new vans, you can help by letting us hear how the ride feels from your perspective. It's also your chance to have your thoughts heard on what you like about the ride or what might be improved.

Over the next few weeks we will be asking our riders to answer a few questions about our service. If you would like to fill out the short survey here please send us a message and we will send you the questionnaire. All answers and comments will remain anonymous.

Thank you for your assistance,
Forest Folk Inc.

Hello Idyllwild community!
I had an urgent request come through for a through hiker with a service dog. They need to skip the heat and head more north. The Idyllwild Free Shuttle could take him but not this Monday since it’s a holiday and he needs to head off the mountain asap. Maybe someone could help hom out His number is 716-717-0167 and is name is Iam.
