DesertMud - Hiking, Mountain Biking, Pine Trees, Southern California
Cucamonga Peak Update

the hike:
Cucamonga Peak
date: 03/03/2000
location: San Bernardino NF (Cucamonga Wilderness), Southern California, USA
type: Out & Back
distance: ~8 Mi RT
elev gain/loss: 2500 ft
start elev: 4000 ft
stop elev: 6500 ft
difficulty: ****
scenic: *****
technical: *
driving directions: From I-15, Take Hwy 138 to Lone Pine Canyon Rd, make left onto Lone Pine Canyon Rd and go about 2-3 miles to Swarthout Canyon Rd (dirt) on your left. Take the latter rd 2 miles to an unmarked rd called Sheep Canyon Rd (dirt) near a large white tank out to the right. Take Sheep Canyon Rd 3 miles to Lytle Creek Rd (paved). Make a left on Lytle Creek Rd and go about a mile or so down to Middle Fork Rd, take a right. Go three miles down this road (dirt), staying out of the canyon and park at the trailhead and parking lot where there is a map of the area and other info in some display cases out there.
Or, take I-15 to Sierra, exit, make right at stop sign and go up into Lytle Creek on Lytle Creek Rd. Turn left at Middle Fork Rd, and go 3 miles to parking area (this is the quicker way to go).
hiking route: Hike on the trail heading toward Cucamonga Peak, take the Stone House split (better scenery).
details: We didn't make this hike because the snow got too deep. We were sinking 2 ft with each step in 3 ft of snow and we had jeans on; so we turned around at about 4 miles in. There were three stacked waterfalls about 1-2 miles into the hike. Hiking in the snow was really awesome, but it was very wet snow. There was thick fog on the lower elevation of the hike and that was really awesome too.
trail condition: Deep Snow
