San Bernardino Mountains

The forested, higher elevations cover the Lake Arrowhead, Silverwood Lake and Big Bear Lake area, as well as the San Jacinto mountains – with the adorable village of Idyllwild. All is located in Southern California, in between all the suburban development and cities.

The backside of the of San Berdu National Forest faces the Mojave Desert and the front faces the L.A. Basin. On the Idyllwild side, Hemet lies to the west and Palm Springs desert on the east side.

The famous Palm Springs tram can take you from the desert terrain @ 2463′ elevation, up to the pine forest of San Jacinto State Park @ 8516′ elevation, in a matter of minutes. Totally worth a trip, (a full day outing). Bring a jacket for the cooler temps and extra cash for meals and/or horseback rides.
