Mount San Jacinto is the highlight of both the San Jacinto Wilderness Area and the Mount San Jacinto State Park. The peak can be reached on hiking trails from a pass known as ‘The Saddle’ or by riding the 2.5-mile Aerial Tramway from Palm Springs into the state park. The rotating car offers exquisite views over the Jacinto Valleys and Chino Canyon. It’s also a scenic way for skiers and snowboarders to reach the slopes. Meanwhile, the San Jacinto Wilderness Area hosts Lily Rock and Suicide Rock, both are challenging rock climbing areas with ascents of up to 1,000 feet. Visitors who prefer to keep their feet on the ground can admire the pristine pine forest from the Mountain Station observation deck.

Big Bear Lake is another prime location to visit with your Grand Terrace RV Rental by owner. This Alpine lake offers a tranquil recreational space with over 100 miles of multi-purpose trails and 22 miles of shoreline. Visitors can rent a canoe or kayak and take to the lake’s quiet waters. Take a walk through the green and amber forest and observe migrating birds during the fall, or, wait until spring to see rare wildflowers blooming. The Indian paintbrush, yarrow, and columbine typically come into season between mid-April and the end of May. Throughout the winter months, Big Bear Lake is a popular skiing destination. Even kids can enjoy the cooler months with sledding and tubing in the Big Bear Lake Recreational Area.
