Local Hikes

Appletree Campground is a great place to see evidence of the San Andreas Fault firsthand.

A lot of the trees are a bit scorched in this area, yet it seems many of them will survive.

There is a magical oasis just off the 15 Freeway! Connects to the PCT so travel as far as you want in either direction.

The East Table Mountain hike takes you from Hwy 2 to the JPL trail. Much of it is burned, but as far as I know, it is open.

One of Wrightwood's two washes with a beautiful forested area on the left after you hike up about half a mile. 

I'm not sure if the trails near Jackson lake are currently open, but the lake itself definitely is!

One of the most popular trails in Wrightwood, with scenic views and a paved out-and-back trail (about 6 miles total). 

Tucked away past Arch Picnic Area. Downhill on the way in and uphill on the way out, but definitely worth the climb!

This is not so much a "hike" per-se as a place to explore, but if you're looking to take a short walk outside, there are lots of pretty spots for pictures.

There is about a 1 mile defined interpretive trail, but lots of additional places to explore on both sides of the highway.

Located in Piñon Hills, this beautiful area features LOTS of trails. Just watch out for cactus if you go off the path!

The Sheep Creek Wash is a great place to look for actinolite and other interesting rocks. 

When it is too cold or snowy in Wrightwood to hike, catch the PCT off Swarthout Canyon Road instead!

The popular rope swing in Wrightwood is a starting (or ending) point for several trails.

This approximately 2 mile hike goes all the way around the campground. As far as I know, it is still open!

This maintained trail along Hwy 2 is the perfect place for an afternoon stroll. Signs help you identify some of the native plants.
