About This Trail

Imported description

This is a quick and painless hike to a mountain with great views. You can see Big Bear Lake and the San Gorgonio Wilderness. The only downside is the radio towers. The view from the other side is not as spectacular, but you can see Holcomb Valley and the High Desert. If you only have a few hours to spare in Big Bear, this is the hike for you. The road is steep in spots, the only difficulty is the last.4 of a mile. It shouldn't present a challenge to anyone. You may need a few rest stops.
