Crestline周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

At the dead-end of CA highway 173 is a trailhead staging area for hikers using the Pacific Crest Trail. About 5 hours north are interesting hot springs along the trail. There are objects here to lock the bike to, though the bike might be safer a few miles further up the trail where the access is less easy for potential thieves with cars.

The PCT follows the west shore of Lake Silverwood for several miles. There are multiple points along the trail that you get great views of the water. In this spot, you get a particularly great view of the whole lake.

The PCT follow the shoreline for some time. At this section, follow a dirt road that leads down to another picnic area that has water from a spigot.

The wonderfully wooded trail leads you over a short distance to a rock in which the water has washed an almost perfect heart shape over many years. A great destination for lovers and lovers of nature!

Are you longing for an easy stroll along a lake shore? Nestled in the beautiful Crestline, you can enjoy a day with your family hiking along Lake Gregory and take a dip into the inviting water from one of the beaches. Fishing is also permitted. There are three parking lots around the lake and you will have to pay a fee: https://www.lakegregory.com/parking

This is the nearest official trailhead if you like to visit the infamous Deep Creek Hot Springs. It is a 12-mile out and back hike. This section is also a part of the iconic Pacific Crest Trail. Keep in mind that you have to ford the Deep Creek itself just under a mile from here. It Rainbow Bridge spans over the Deep Creek, but some miles further down the trail.

There used to be a road access to this very big parking area at the east end of Saddle Dike Embankment, if the gate at the paved road access is closed. Now the closest car accessible trailhead is at the end of CA Hwy 173 at a wide parking area about 1.5 miles to the south. From here hike about 5 miles to the popular Deep Creek Hot Springs. There is no need to ford the Deep Creek itself along this section of the PCT, thanks to the Rainbow bridge that was built decades ago.

After a long hike north and south this is the first contact of the PCT trail with a paved road, Hwy 173 that ends here at a wide parking area. This is also the best free trailhead parking area to hike 6 miles to the popular Deep Creek Hot Springs. A mile in, the trail crosses a wide ford where the creek is dry or so shallow much of the year that it won't get the shoes wet. If waters are high after rain or snow melt a parallel track can be taken along the dam. At the hot springs a shorter trail that would require fording the creek goes to Bowen Ranch, where for many years parking and trail access was offered for a fee, about $10. There are reports that Bowen Ranch has been recently closed at times, but there are apparently neighboring farm options. Alternatively from here a dirt road goes up the ridge, from where a trail leads down to the springs.
