Bertha Peak via Polique Canyon Road Hike

If you are in the San Bernardino area and want to set out on a fairly laidback hiking adventure with little in the way of challenging terrain, but will still impress with gorgeous mountain views, then you will certainly want to check out the Bertha Peak via Polique Canyon Road Hike.

Setting out from the trailhead on Polique Canyon Road, you will head to the east through the forest along a small stretch of the Pacific Crest Trail. Here, you will steadily gain elevation through the tree cover, before arriving at a junction with a forest service road.

Continuing along the road to the southeast, you will work your way further uphill while enjoying beautifully scenic views of the San Bernardino Mountains, before eventually arriving at the summit of Bertha Peak. Take some time here to soak up the views, before heading back along the same route to return to the trailhead where you began. If you are looking to extend your hike or simply take a longer journey through the area, then check out the nearby Cougar Crest Trail for more of the same Southern California views.
