Castle Rock trail is a beautiful scenic trail, amongst Ponderosa pines on the southern side of Big Bear Lake, within the San Bernardino National Forest. It is the most popular trail in the Big Bear area. I would get to experience awe inspiring views of the lake and mountains here in wintertime, on a 2.7 mile hike in the snow.
I headed off towards the Bear Creek Oasis from the Cove Trailhead in La Quinta, CA in February. Winter and spring are the best times to visit here. There is a large parking area, and is a popular place to hike. There are plenty of signs, picnic tables, and a restroom here at the trailhead.
The Salton Sea is a peculiar place. Much of it has been desolate since it fell out of favor, since its hey day. It was once a vacation destination for the rich and famous, and would go on to become an ecological disaster, a eutrophic lake, where fish can't survive.

Tucked away in Anaheim Hills is a small canyon, filled with oaks, wildflowers, and birds. Oak Canyon is a place you can get away from it all, on a short, manageable trail, beneath the oaks. There are trails ranging from under a mile, to a three mile loop here, for all levels.
