When my family and I first moved to Lake Arrowhead, we'd go out on Sundays and explore our town and the surrounding areas. One of the first places we ventured to was the Strawberry Peak Fire Lookout Tower, in Twin Peaks (near Lake Arrowhead). This Fire Lookout was constructed in the early '30's and was manned by volunteers to spot fires during the high fire season.
TODAY, volunteers still use the fire lookouts to spot fires AND, also, to educate the public about the history of the lookouts and our forest. Visitors are allowed to climb up to the tower and experience the awesome mountain views. The views, in fact, go on forever!
This is not a place for someone who has a problem with heights!
Hours: 9:00 am and 5:00 pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day . Directions : From San Bernardino, take Highway 18 to Rim Forest, turn onto Bear Springs Rd (only one way to turn), to Twin Peaks. Follow the signs. The fire lookout is approx. two miles from the sign.
Wearing comfy clothes and shoes and carry water. Have FUN.
