Route Description for Cram Peak Ridge Trail
If you are in Southern California and want a short but steep route that will provide some beautiful views and a good leg burn, then you should check out the Cram Peak Ridge Trail outside of Redlands. This is a straightforward hike that will provide a solid workout, but you will need to double the distance listed here to account for the return leg of the journey.
Setting out from the starting point on Emerald Avenue, you will follow the road to the north, before branching off to the left along Santa Ana Canyon Road. Keeping to the right onto the fire road, you will cross over Morton Creek and begin to gain some elevation along the mountainside.
Keeping to the right, the grade of the trail will begin to steepen as you turn to the northeast and set a course for the summit. Take your time here to account for the large elevation gain and appreciate the beautiful views overlooking Redlands, Mentone, Yucaipa, and the surrounding wilderness. Eventually, you will reach the end point of the trail, where you will turn back and retrace your steps to the trailhead.
