    Directions to Trailhead

    The Miller Canyon Trail is a straightforward hiking route in San Bernardino National Forest that will see you traverse an off-road vehicle path through a scenic canyon. While out hiking the trail, you will steadily gain elevation through Miller Canyon, before the steep climb up towards Lake Arrowhead. Hikers should take note that there will likely be off-road vehicles and mountain bikes along this route, so be sure to keep an eye out and allow others to safely pass.

    Route Description for Miller Canyon Trail

    If you are after a longer hiking route and don’t mind sharing the road with a few daring off-road vehicle enthusiasts and mountain bikers, then the Miller Canyon Trail in the San Bernardino National Forest will be a fantastic route for you to explore.

    Setting out from the trailhead, you will follow along the road as it initially heads to the southwest, before turning east through Miller Canyon. Here, you will steadily gain elevation along the dirt road while enjoying the views of the forested slopes surrounding you.

    Eventually, the road will turn to the north and begin climbing more sharply along the hillside to bring you out of the canyon and onto some elevated ground. At this point, you will continue along the road as it turns southeast towards the endpoint of the route near the Lake Arrowhead Country Club. From here, simply turn back along the road and follow it back down into the canyon on the return leg into the starting point of your adventure.

    Getting to the Miller Canyon Trail Trailhead
