Table of contents

The Crafts Peak Trail is a wonderfully scenic adventure in the San Bernardino Mountains that climbs up to a rock-strewn summit for views of the surrounding landscape. While out hiking the trail, you will steadily gain elevation through some woodland terrain, before pushing onto the summit of Crafts Peak for a sightline out to San Gorgonio. Hikers should take note that access to this route is usually closed when snowfall occurs and remains on the ground, so be sure to check trail conditions prior to setting out on your adventure.

Route Description for Crafts Peak Trail

For those adventurers who are in search of an exceptional day-hike that is a real bang for your buck journey, the Crafts Peak Trail in the San Bernardino National Forest is a great way to experience the beautifully scenic views of Southern California.

Setting out from the trailhead at the Green Valley Campground, you will follow Forest Road 2N13 to the northeast, before keeping right onto 2N13D. Here, you will continue to gradually gain some elevation through a mixture of forest and meadow, keeping left to chart a course for the summit of Crafts Peak.

After crossing over a small creek, the terrain will begin to steepen and become rocky as you push on towards the summit. Once there, you will enjoy some incredible views of the surrounding landscape, including sweeping forests, rugged peaks, and beautiful lakes. After taking in the views, retrace your footsteps to return to the trailhead next to the Green Valley Campground.
