Cloudland Truck Trail Description
For those who want a straightforward hiking adventure in San Bernardino that will offer some pretty views and a solid leg burn thanks to the steady uphill climb, the Cloudland Truck Trail is a fantastic option to explore.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way east on the road and follow it as it winds along the hillside, before turning to the northeast to gain elevation. As you steadily work your way uphill, the views looking back over San Bernardino to the south will become even more scenic.
After working your way up the winding mountain road, the route will turn back to the east for the final push up to the top of Marshall Peak. While this route stops short of the summit, feel free to continue on along the road to extend the length of your hike. From the end of the trail the easy part of the hike begins, as you make a leisurely descent along the road and take in the sprawling views before you.
