There are a few spaces for parking and the gates were opened when I arrived. There are a few flights of stairs so I got to it and I was met upstairs by a volunteer. He gave me a run down of the history (ex: it was named after a strawberry farm owned by a man named Bart) and he even pointed out popular spots off in the distance. Impressive mountainous views on top of the 30 ft tower built in 1934. There are multiple other peak tower lookouts around and best of all it's free--donations are accepted. All in all this was a nice visit and one way to quiet all the noise in nature.

Such an incredible view and fun hike!…read more The hike itself is easy/moderate walking up the road. Definitely a hike that you can do with people of any experience level. There aren't too many cars that go by, but it is good to be mindful of cars that could be going down or driving up in the parts of the street that overlap with some of the residential houses. The hike itself is maybe a mile depending on if you start all the way at the bottom of the road or park a little bit up. When you get to the strawberry Peak fire lookout, you get to go up into the lookout tower. If you are afraid of heights or claustrophobic, this might be a little uncomfortable since you are going up into the little metal lookout and you can feel the wind move the building and see-through the metal slats to the ground. If you can handle it, the views are so worth it! You get to learn about the history of the lookout tower and you get a full 360 view around the mountain. For nature lovers this is a really cool experience. If you are with any small kids, the Rangers also give out little cards and tend to have a fun pin or something for kids. Just make sure to go during hours that they are open. If the tower is closed, you will not be able to go up in it, but you can still see some of the nice view.

According to AllTrails the hike is called Metate Trail and is approximately 2 miles of fairly flat trails. There are many different trails that links to this so you can extend your hike and go a totally different way. The Indian Rock Camp is only about 1/4 mile into the trail if you take the entrance on the left that says "interpretative." Once you get to the sign you will need to explore the hill for the Rock Camp. Our kids had a blast exploring and looking for acorns to play with. There is also a small hut for the kids to explore. Further down the trail is a small creek and lots more trail to explore. We saw signs of a large herd of deer so if you are quiet you maybe in for a surprise.

Starting at the Rock Camp Forest Service Station a very short trail (maybe a mile) winds through a…read morebeautiful grove of ponderosa pines and soon you will see a sign for the centuries (and maybe millennium) old Serrano Indian rocks that were used to grind acorns into meal for use as food. I love this place because it brings everyone back to reality, letting us know that we were not the first ones here, and we will not be the last. Its a really neat little piece of history in a secluded patch of woods. The trail head is located at 34.287955, -117.212582, just walk east and you'll run into it. I'm pretty sure there is a map and sign there as well.

Get ready to eat.... a lot…read more As a foodie, I was so excited to attend this event. We went Sunday about a hour after the event opened. You should also to make sure to bring lots of cash because it makes life easier! I had some notable dishes... Including truffle fries from Mangia Mangia (a food truck from San Diego) and some very delicious lobster ravioli in a sauce that was a mix of alfredo and marinara. Next stop.. Desimigo for some veggie samosas! They had the right amount of chutney and spice on these delicious fried indian treats. As my friends were waiting in line for their samosas, I waited in line for about 40 minutes for the Cousin Maine Lobster truck. The lobster was definitely delicious and worth the wait! I ordered the Maine lobster roll and the lobster was cool, delicious, and very very fresh. The staff was also fun and had a great sense of humor. As we were walking around, our attention was caught immediately by HUGE eggrolls. So we ventured over to the MO Eggrolls. They were out of the tuna salad one that I really wanted to try, but their roasted veggie/hummus was very tasty. It came with a hot sauce and a delicious Kosher Dill pickle. Add a couple beers on to the bill and we were literally rolling ourselves out of there.

This is a must-visit at least once (in the fall apple season preferably). There are several…read moreseparate venues as you wind along scenic Oak Glen Road - and most have apple picking, fresh fruit, shops, and a variety of dining options. The vendors are friendly and most offer samples of their fair - especially ciders and the types of apples being grown on-site. Although I was skeptical at first, after purchasing some of the apple varieties I freely concede that there's a noticeable taste difference between store-purchased produce and those freshly picked at the Oak Glen orchards - though they do cost a bit more. By the way, you don't need to pick your own, but it is a fun option! Be aware that weekend parking can be a headache during their busy season, but if you want the full experience it's the recommended time of the week to visit; however, if you're retired (like me), a weekday trip has less crowds while still allowing the shopping and eating opportunities without the long lines. Since it's a tourist venue, things aren't real cheap, but who can resist the sites and bakery smells wafting through the air? Oak Glen is all things apple - and it makes a wonderful day trip for those in the San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties.

A few notes: * Street Parking near neighborhood available, just a short walking distance. * There are other parking spots but limited. * Make it an all-afternoon event with your kids.. bring lawn chairs or walking shoes to walk around the lake * Bring your camera * Be careful of the uneven terrain near the edge of the lake! You won't want to miss this display because it's only available until June 1, 2018!
