Camp Creek

USDA Forest Service Backcountry Trail

  • Route Type

Location: In San Bernardino National Forest on State Route 18 1 mi. east of Snow Valley Ski Area.

  • States: California
  • Counties: San Bernardino

The trail then becomes a single track over relatively flat terrain for the first half mile through a beautiful grove of young Sequoia trees, White Fir, Sugar, and Jeffery pines. From there the trail starts to steeply descend into a sunny and exposed canyon offering spectacular views of Snow Valley to the West and the San Bernadino peaks to the southeast. Continue descending amongst Coulter pines and canyon live oak until reaching a resting point overlooking Bear Creek. Here the trail becomes rough to travel on as vegetation tends to overgrow the trail. After your first view of Bear Creek the trail then clears up as you hike down through incense cedar and Douglas firs to Siberia Creek where you find alder trees and a few box elders. Anglers, bring a fishing rod as the creek offers good fishing opportunities. After spending an hour or two by the creek begin the steep ascent back up 2,300 feet to Snow Valley.
