About this ebook

Discover the best of San Bernardino National Forest with this authoritative guide to 100 unforgettable hikes.

Southern California’s highest and most rugged mountains are in the San Bernardino and San Jacinto ranges, in a unique region where wildly varied naturescapes—desert cactus and pine trees, snowcapped peaks and palm oases—are found in close proximity. With the Pacific Crest Trail weaving its way through the mountains and desert, there are endless opportunities to explore Southern California trails.

After more than 50 years in print, San Bernardino Mountain Trails remains the bible for Southern California hikers. This updated guide by veteran hiker and author David Money Harris contains new trips, as well as old favorites. This edition brings John Robinson’s classic guide up to date with the latest trail conditions. Eight old trails, especially in areas that have become overgrown after fire damage, have been replaced with recently built or more heavily used trails.

Inside you’ll find:

  • 100 hikes that traverse San Bernardino National Forest, the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the San Jacinto Mountains
  • Details about each hike’s features and a description of the trail
  • At-a-glance information about length, difficulty, and more
  • “Overview of Hikes” chart that shows which trips are best suited for kids, dogs, mountain biking, and backpacking

San Bernardino Mountain Trails is noted for its comprehensive coverage of the San Bernardino, San Jacinto, and Santa Rosa mountains and its meticulously researched history of the ranges. Get to know the area before you explore it, and find the best trips for your skill level and interests.

    Overrall a good introductory hiking guide to the San Bernardino, San Jacinto, & Santa Rosa Mtns of Southern Calfornia. Robinson's strength as a guide are his encyclopedic knowledge of local mountain history, obvious love for the topic, and first hand accounts of adventurere, including his description of ascending the "ice tongue" of Mt. San Jacinto, a trailless scramble and rock climb straight up the northern gully from the Palm Springs Aerial Tram, and a section titled, "Trails That Used to be". His weaknesses are inaccuracies in trail mileages and obtuse, at times, directions. Most people don't think of Southern California as offering any true wilderness areas for the backpacker or adventurer; this guide proves them wrong. Isolated, Sierra Nevada-like meadows and 11,000 foot-plus summits await those willing to give these lesser mountain ranges a try.
