The Mormon Rocks Interpretive Trail is a short hiking route in the San Bernardino National Forest that will take you through an area filled with interesting geological formations. While out on the trail, you will meander around a short loop and traverse the rugged sandstone Mormon Rocks while taking in their natural beauty. Although some of the terrain here is a bit rough, it is a great little adventure that the entire family can enjoy.

Route Description for Mormon Rocks Interpretive Trail

If you are in the San Bernardino Area and want to get out on a quick adventure with the family to explore the outdoors, then the Mormon Rocks Interpretive Trail is a great option. Named after the Mormon settlers that passed through the area on their way from Utah to San Bernardino in the 1850s, the rocks are an imposing and beautiful geological feature of the Cajon Pass.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will initially make your way to the west in order to climb slightly uphill and take in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Here, the trail will bend to the southeast towards Ralston Peak and provide a great view of the surrounding sandstone boulders, before looping on the final leg of the walk back into the parking area where you began the short adventure.

Getting to the Mormon Rocks Interpretive Trail Trailhead

The trailhead for the Mormon Rocks Interpretive Trail can be found at the Mormon Rocks Fire Station along the Abiel Barron Memorial Highway/CA-138.
