Walk the very nearby trail of San Bernardino Land Trust (the Will Abell Memorial Trail) There’s a dirt parking lot on Grass Valley Rd by flag poles, with a paved path leading up into the hills. It makes a long or short loop.

Will Abell Memorial Trail at Arrowhead Ridge
Walk the very nearby trail of San Bernardino Land Trust (the Will Abell Memorial Trail) There’s a dirt parking lot on Grass Valley Rd by flag poles, with a paved path leading up into the hills. It makes a long or short loop.
The trailhead is located right next to Camp Seely, in Crestline.
The best time of day to do the Heart Rock hike is in the morning. You can pretty much have the trail to yourself. A majority of people go midday and it gets busy, especially on weekends.
***The biggest mistake that happens on the heart rock hike is people missing the heart rock trail It happens because the trail is basically unmarked. When you see the big logs, veer off to the right instead of going straight on the paved road.
We walked back on the paved road this last time and I would guess that 75% of the people that go on this hike miss the actual Heart Rock Trail. Some people on the road miss the Heart Rock formation at the end.
Whether you take the road or the trail, you can still get to the same place. But the trail is so much prettier with views of Seely Creek and the canyon’s beautiful rock walls. Get the most bang for your buck by walking on the the Heart Rock trail.

My boys like both the day and night skiing and snowboarding at Snow Summit and Big Bear. It can be a bit of a drive from Ironwood Cabin though, so sometimes they prefer Snow Valley.
