    Route Description for Keller Peak Hike

    Featuring a good challenge, lengthy overall distance, and wonderfully scenic views of the surrounding mountains, the Keller Peak Hike is a fantastic option if you are in the San Bernardino area and want to set out on a full day adventure.

    Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the southeast and cross over Dry Creek, before climbing uphill through the atmospheric forest landscape. Here, you will follow along the Exploration Trail as it leads up to an elevated ridge.

    After a short distance along the ridge, you will branch off to the northeast and continue along its wooded slope, where you will eventually cross over Keller Peak Road and enter into Children Forest. From here, the route will bend to the southwest and climb further uphill, where you will soon arrive at the scenic viewpoint atop Keller Peak. After revelling in the scenery, you will head back along the same trail to return to the trailhead where you began.

    Getting to the Keller Peak Hike Trailhead

    The trailhead for the Keller Peak Hike can be found along Keller Peak Road 1N96, just southeast of the Deer Lick Fire Station.
