Table of contents

The Onyx Peak Hike is a pleasant adventure in the San Bernardino Mountains that features easy-going terrain and beautifully scenic views. While out hiking the trail, you will traverse a forest service road that will bring you up to the summit of Onyx Peak for amazing views of the surrounding landscape. Make sure to purchase a valid Adventure Pass and have it displayed in your vehicle prior to setting out for this hike.

Route Description for Onyx Peak Hike

If you are looking for a laidback trail in the San Bernardino Mountains or are getting your family used to undertaking longer hikes, then the Onyx Peak Hike will be the ideal route for you to try out. Featuring a steady climb along a dirt road and nice views of the surrounding landscape, you can go wrong with this moderate-length trail.

Setting out from the roadside parking area, you will follow along the forest service road as it heads to the north and begins climbing the mountainside. The best views can be found throughout the hike rather than at the summit, so take your time and breathe the fresh mountain air as you gaze out across the undulating Southern California terrain.

Eventually, the road will bend to the southeast and continue winding uphill to bring you to the summit of Onyx Peak. Here, you can pause for a quick rest, before working your way back downhill along the same route to return to the trailhead.

Getting to the Onyx Peak Hike Trailhead

The trailhead for the Onyx Peak Hike can be found along CA-38, just 19.3mi east of Angelus Oaks.
