Table of contents

The Cloudland Truck Trail is a great hiking route in San Bernardino, California that will take you on a steady climb with views of the surrounding landscape. While out hiking the trail, you will follow along the dirt road as it winds up the slopes of Marshall Peak to provide views overlooking San Bernardino and nearby peaks. Hikers should take note that this is a multi-use trail that is shared with off-highway vehicles, so make sure to exercise all precautions and allow vehicles enough room to maneuver.

Route Description for Cloudland Truck Trail

For those who want a straightforward hiking adventure in San Bernardino that will offer some pretty views and a solid leg burn thanks to the steady uphill climb, the Cloudland Truck Trail is a fantastic option to explore.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way east on the road and follow it as it winds along the hillside, before turning to the northeast to gain elevation. As you steadily work your way uphill, the views looking back over San Bernardino to the south will become even more scenic.

After working your way up the winding mountain road, the route will turn back to the east for the final push up to the top of Marshall Peak. While this route stops short of the summit, feel free to continue on along the road to extend the length of your hike. From the end of the trail the easy part of the hike begins, as you make a leisurely descent along the road and take in the sprawling views before you.

Getting to the Cloudland Truck Trail Trailhead

The starting point for the Cloudland Truck Trail can be found off Devils Canyon Road, just north of the California State University Campus in San Bernardino.
