サンバーナディーノ山脈の絶景の山頂・トップ20

Cool views

From the summit you get sweeping views of Delamar, Butler, Big Bear Lake, Skyline Ridge, and the San Bernardinos. There is a cell tower at the summit.

Looking west from the summit you can see across Pinto Basin to Joshua Tree National Park. Indeed, Ryan Mountain has its own display of unique desert flora. The trail starts flat and becomes more steep as you climb, offering spectacular panoramic views and plenty of space to explore at the summit.

San Gorgonio Mountain, also called Mount San Gorgonio or Old Greyback, is the highest peak in Southern California, standing at 11,503 feet. The mountain has a pyramid-like shape, with a steep north face and a gentler south face. On clear days, hikers can enjoy expansive 360-degree views of San Gorgonio Wilderness and even the Pacific Ocean.

Castle Rock is a boulder pile that makes a popular destination for its scenic views that look out upon Big Bear Lake and the surrounding mountains.

The hike up to Ryan Mountain is one of the more strenuous within Joshua Tree National Park. But your effort is worth the open panoramic views over the park and the tall Joshua Trees.

Snow Summit, built in 1952, is near Big Bear Lake and its sister resort, Bear Mountain. During the winter, it is a popular resort for skiers and snowboarders, but in the summer months of May to October, Snow Summit has a gravity-fed bike park. Bikers have access to 60 miles of cross-country trails.

This small mountain in the lower part does not see as many visitors as the center of Joshua Tree National Park. Leave the crowds behind and enjoy a hike to this peak and the scenic ruins of the old Mastodon Mine. In the 1930s, the Hulsey Family found some gold ore, but was not able to get to the main vein, so the mine was abandonded pretty soon.
