Had a nice hike from Lake Silverwood to Camp Cajon near McDonalds off the 15 Freeway. Nice rolling hills, lots of Miners Lettuce, flowers, and seasonal springs.

Nice off road trail with fantastic scenic views. Not very technical but fun with a few water crossings.

I love Etiwanda Preserve and exploring the canyons and I ended up making it all the way up to Dustin Springs but it was crazy and quite a bushwhack. I’m not sure I would want to do it again for a while, Lol. But I completed a goal and saw some amazing sights so that’s what counts.

I really like hiking in the San Sevaine area. There are cool forests and meadows and it’s not far from my home. I often walk up the road with my bike and then ride it down.

3-7-20, Saturday..... This was a nice short trail. Reminded me of being in the Sierras a bit. Wasn’t to crowded. Possibly due to cool weather and a possible storm coming in. The temperatures was about 45.
We started at the bottom off of Tahquitz View Dr. And hiked up to the parking area where we hung out for a rest and bite then hiked back down. Took us 4.5 hours with an hour hanging out up top. Had my 2 Boston’s with me and they did great.
The town I went through on the was was super cute.... brewery,
Shops, restaurants.

Started near Cal State San Bernardino on Cloudland Truck Trail and went up to Marshall Peak. We were definitely in the clouds and fog. Quite a nice hike in the local mountains and the trail is well maintained. Hang gliders like to go up this trail and take off from Marshall Peak. Highly recommend checking it out!!!

This trail would be of interest to both beginners and seasoned off-roaders. There are options all along the way for beginners to take the easy route in a stock 4x4.

Good beginner/ intermediate trail. Relatively easy only a few hard parts. Mike shaft and abandoned trailer nearby

This hike is erroneously classified as "Difficult". It is actually quite easy with a nice moderate elevation gain. Only the last .75 miles is a bit harder on the dirt road to Bertha Peak.

Semi well maintained path high clearance recommended. Kidd Creek yellow post camping site and Buff Mesa camping site on this trail

The trail is difficult to find as it’s not well maintained. We followed the app in order to guide us because it was difficult to find the trail. No great place to look out here. But we saw deer.

This is a well-built trail. It climbs through open forest which afforded ample shade earlier in the day, but there were many sunny spots by noon. Still, there was plenty of shade to cool off.

First half of the trail is easy walking surface
Second half the walking surface is difficult being made of fractured granite rocks
This a great 10 mile out and back hike

Cool little hike, only came out to 3.6 miles for me. (Was supposed to be 4.6)
Pros: Good views of the mountains and high desert, good amount of wildlife (saw my first rattlesnake of the summer), fun boulder scrambling near the top. Interesting scenery, more like Joshua Tree or the high desert than the mountains.
Cons: Very exposed, little shade, hot. I started at 8 and probably should have started a little earlier. Trail isn’t well marked, glad I was following the GPS track. Have to do some light boulder scrambling in a few spots and most of the way to the final peak.

One of my favorite hikes of all time. Relatively easy grade for most of the hike with a steep section at the last half mile or so.

nice drive with the Grand kids we saw baby humming birds feeding at some wild flowers (tried for picture but wasn't fast enough)

Nice Jeep ride. Quite dusty in June but great views. Could do this with 2wd vehicle if you have decent clearance.

Great 4x4 trail to Big Bear. Lockers not required in summer. Great views

Great trail. Really long. Be prepared for a workout. Lots of people, dogs, and bikes. The view at the top is amazing. Go all the way and don’t stop short.

4/27/19. Wonderful hike up to Sugarloaf. Nice overcast in the morning and got hotter as the marine layer burned off. We were treated to great views of all the local mountains. There are two Sugarloafs, you first see two rock cairns denoting the trail to Old Sugarloaf which looks pretty demanding. If you continue about 1 more mile, you get to New Sugarload which is a much easier hike up. I've done the latter and am looking forward to the former another day. Watch out for bikes which use this for a downhill bomb from Blue Jay. Round trip is about 12.6 miles.

This is my favorite way to do Santiago and Modjeska in the same day. I hate the road into Holy Jim, and this route is smooth pavement until Maple Springs Road turns to dirt where you park. From there I climb a trail that I've heard called the "Sierra Club Route to Modjeska Peak" which climbs the ridge crossing Maple Springs Road repeatedly until you reach the main divide road. Heading up the Main Divide Road to the right for 100 yards, you'll see a trail on the left which provides wonderful shade going up to Modjeska Peak. The trail continues and drops back down to the main divide road where you climb up to Santiago. Return via the same route. Great in spring when the wildflowers are out. My main problem is that the first part is a bit overgrown and could use some maintenance as it's a huge deep rut in some places.

An awesome hike with lots to see and fun changes in surroundings. Did it in October, which had some surprising fall color. You’ll need a vehicle with good ground clearance for the last 2 miles of off road to the trail head. Use Google Maps to navigate to the TH which is north of the summit (look for Cahuilla Mountain Trail). Definitely one of the best hikes in the area.
