Blue Ridge Trail Description
If you are after a moderately challenging adventure in the San Bernardino area that features some elevation gain, beautiful views, and is still suitable for the family, then you should absolutely take some time to explore the Blue Ridge Trail.
Setting out from the parking lot at the Mountain High Resort, you will pick up the trail leading to the south and into the tree cover. Here, you will almost immediately begin climbing uphill, gaining elevation and access to scenic views as you work your way to the top of the ridge.
Once there, you will enjoy spectacular views that spread out in all directions to include nearby mountains and hills. After taking in the beautiful views, simply head back downhill along the same route to return to your vehicle below.
