    Beautiful view!
    Laura S.

    The most complicated issue with this trail is that a lot of people have trouble finding it. Since I'm a local I grew up doing this trail so thankfully I don't have an issue. It's a little hidden and most people miss it because it's in a residential area. Besides having a hard time finding it, it's a decent hike. Most of it is uphill which is really nice if your trying to get in a good workout for your lower body. The scenery is really nice and the view up top is beautiful as well especially if you go during the evening. It's a nice view of grand terrace. The other negative factor is if you go during the summer once in a while there is a lot of wind storms. If you have asthma like me try and avoid it. There is a lot of dirt and I've gone before during this time and it was so difficult to breathe even with an inhaler.

    Enjoy the many views once you reach the top!

    Went early morning this past Saturday with a friend and the view at the top definitely made waking up early on a Saturday worth it! Like Jav mentioned, it's a quiet trail and definitely a great one to do with friends. The trail has it's moments of butt kicking steep inclines, which means when you're walking back down the mountain to be careful! Enjoy the view while you're hiking up, and keep a look out for the legend marker! Enjoy! Parking: Street parking at the end of Westwood St x Westwood Lane. Distance: 4.5 miles, give or take which route you take up the mountain. Time: Took me a little less than 2 hours, start early unless you like the sun beating down on you! Dogs allowed: Definitely! Brought along my pup, but keep on a leash since this place frequents mountain bikers/dirt bikes.

    Every trail in this blue mountain hike is beautiful.

    One of the best around Riverside, Redlands, San Bernadimo Area. Some areas are steeper but it is worth the hike.

    Nice trail, I hadn't hiked in years and didn't have any trouble getting to the top. Best part is that it's not a popular trail.

    Park at Westwood Street past Honey Hill Drive. There's a yellow gate which leads you to the trail head. It was my 3rd time on this trial and I went with a group of friends on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. It was sunny and windy for the most part. I forgot how tough the hike was going up. Took us about an hour to get to the very top, and for a second I thought I was getting really unfit since I gained quite a few pounds in the past year. We took the path right ahead which was pretty steep and soaked up the view at the top. Tbh, I like this hike more than Hulda Crooks since it's not too crowded and there's actually a top. I'd recommend anyone to check it out if your in the area. Only thing I didn't like was there was a lot of dog poop and probably horse poop around in the middle of the trial.

    Ive always seen this mountain driving past the freeway and have always wanted to explore it. Pretty easy to find! Multiple routes you can take to get to the top. If you're looking for a quick workout, avoid the switchbacks and take the trail straight up from the willow tree. Its a good incline to the top and you will be sure to break a sweat.

    Beautiful day for a hike I am blessed

    Ask the Community - Blue Mountain Trail

    Is this hike dog friendly?

    Where is the entrance for Blue Mountain Trail? Can you provide me the address close to the entrance? Thanks for your help!

    So one of the entrances for the trail is adjacent to the intersection of Westwood Lane and Westwood St. in Grand Terrace.

    The San Bernardino National Forest is huge!!!…read more This National Forest stretches from San Bernardino Couty to Los Angeles County. I've had the privilege to experience the San Bernadino County side of the San Bernardino National Forest when I lived in Big Bear. It was beautiful and fun for hiking adventures. This time, I was on the Los Angeles County side of The San Bernardino National Forest. I was on the side that feels really desert-like. It's dirt and very dry weather, and then suddenly when you hit the National Forest, it is green and gorgeous. Boy, it is really something when you go from the desert to green trees and pretty views!!! The temperature cooled down too. I love the forestry landscape and lush trees everywhere. I'm thankful that we have National Forests like this that are protected! We must protect them at all costs!

    3/5 loved the location left out a few stars I'll explain the pros and cons:…read more Pros: Beautiful National forest. Camping reservation is available and brown bins to hide food from animals and bears available. One bathroom available and it's cleaned by rangers. Trash is also picked up if you need help cleaning. Beauty of a sky at night. They gave a fire pit area and three large benches to eat and sit. Cons: The drive as soon as you get to the off road areas you lose reception. We got lost so I recommend having a back up plan with maps that help off roading areas. Also we took our Tundra for the first time off road and regretted it immediately. BEWARE: The bushes and trees are not cut down to clear the roads and our truck was completely scratched from both sides. Only bring cars you don't care about and plan to use them through bushes and trees that scratch the paint. We learned the hard way. Also the drive up and down the mountain is very dangerous. If you come early the fog makes it hard to see. We got rain in the afternoon and it's very slippery cars also drive crazy and pressure you to go over the required speed. We had to wait 45 min coming down the mountain Sunday when we left due to a car accident. Again locals drive crazy and ride your car or pass you up. Be really cautious! All in all great camping trip but the truck issue was horrible. We now have to pay to try and wax the truck or have to fully re-paint.

Overall, location facilities atmosphere and availability made this park a 4.25 experience!

    The Mister was on vacation and has always wanted to hike the M mountain in Moval. Sunday morning…read moreit's off to the M. What a day, we were greeted by the donkeys and given a little show before we hit the trail. It was a beautiful morning (even though it heated up) and the fresh air up there was perfect. This was my 4th trek up the mountain and his first so we stopped along the trail and just admired the beautiful scenery. From the top of the mountains the surrounding Valley's are beautiful.... We made it to the top in about an hour and 50 minutes. We enjoyed a bite to eat at the M took pictures and headed back down the mountain. It took us about an hour to get back to the car where of course the donkeys were not lounging around in the shade. It was a great day and I'm glad that now when my hubby drives by the M everyday he can look up and say, "I've sat up there and enjoyed the view"......
