Route Description for Skyline to Snow Summit Trail
If you are looking for a fun hiking route in the San Bernardino National Forest that features beautifully scenic views and a moderate amount of elevation gain, but isn’t difficult or technical, then the Skyline to Snow Summit Trail will be a great option to explore.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way into the cover of the forest and head south along a winding path through the tree cover. As you begin making your way uphill, the trail will bend to the southwest and continue through the beautiful woodland landscape, before arriving at the edge of a small lake.
