Burn Area Hikes
(OFF-LIMITS)

Starting at the top of Acorn Drive, hike all the way up to the PCT. Come back down or keep following the PCT for a while.

Rumor has it that the mine burned, which would be tragic. Either way, it definitely requires caution with kids as it was sketchy to begin with!  

This 1/2 mile self-guided nature trail starts at the Big Pines Visitor Center and features interpretive markers describing native plants.

A gorgeous up and down hike about 2 miles each way with a flat area and bench about half way up. 

Starting from the dirt lot near Dawson Saddle, hike or mountain bike 2 miles to the PCT. 

Knowing that we lost our visitor center is devastating. We're hoping some of the gorgeous surrounding forest was spared.

Follow the PCT for 3 miles for great views and wildflowers in the spring.

Lots of trail options towards Mt. High and gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains.

Follow the Pacific Crest Trail for gorgeous veiws of the surrounding area. 

The Lightning Ridge Trail is a 1/2 mile loop across from inspiration point. 

From the Lupine Campground, this trail is a little over 3 miles one way.

From Vincent Gap, this 4.5 mile (one-way) trail has 2,000 ft of elevation loss and gain.

Starting at Vincent Gap, climb nearly 3,000 ft to reach the summit.

This one starts in a neighborhood and goes straight up to the ridge, providing some amazing views of Wrightwood.

Starting at the Lupine Campground, this trail is a little over 4 miles each way.

This hidden gem is behind the Wrightwood County Club near the Methodist camp, but be warned...it is a CLIMB!

I don't know if Vincent's cabin is still there, but this used to be our favorite hike with young kids! Hoping for the best! 🤞🏽

This area near Glendora is (was?) gorgeous with a creek for the kids to play in. About 2.5 miles out and back.

I don't know that I've ever seen so much green! Less water features than Big Dalton Canyon Trail, but just as gorgeous.

This was an easy hike, just over a mile, near Atladena and was absolutely stunning. Hoping some of it was spared! 

This hike is not long (about 3/4 mile each way) and on a service road, so fairly easy. However, it's uphill, so warn the kiddos!
