We would like to thank Anna Duarte of San Bernardino for sharing outstanding photos of one of San Bernardino County’s many scenic places. 

The Loch Leven to Angelus Oaks Trail covers 11.5 miles and takes approximately six hours to complete. The hike takes you through sections of the former Highway 38 route with a combination of dirt paths, narrow trails and a few remaining pieces of pavement. Pay attention to the trail markings in this section and stay to the left as you make your way uphill since the path can be misleading and appear to continue to the right. 

Along the way, you’ll hike through beautiful pine forests, rocky terrain and peaceful alpine surroundings. The route eventually brings you to a road in Angelus Oaks. Be aware that mountain bikers also use this trail, so keep an eye out and give riders plenty of room to pass. 

Depending on where you park, an Adventure Pass may be required. Visit the San Bernardino National Forest’s website for more information.
