Cucamonga Wilderness in Lytle Creek, California
Back to State
Description
The steep, rugged terrain of the Cucamonga Wilderness rises abruptly from the urban San Bernardino Valley, ranging from approximately 5,000 feet to almost 9,000 feet. Most of the streams are intermittent and water is scarce, but the wilderness offers a handy retreat to a beautiful sub-alpine setting on 18 miles of trails for the nearby suburban and city population. Numerous wildlife species do well in the area, including deer, bears, mountain lions and bighorn sheep. Permits A free Day Use Wilderness permit is required for day hikes and overnight trips beginning September 1, 2020. The requirement is only for portions of the wilderness within San Bernardino National Forest. To obtain a permit, call (909) 382-2851 (leave a voicemail).
