On Sunday afternoon Todd and I took a short drive up into the forest and visited the Keller Peak Lookout and the Children's Forest Visitor Center and Intepretive Trail. The lookout is the oldest remaining fire lookout on the San Bernardino National Forest, is staffed by friendly volunteers, and the views are amazing. It was pleasantly cool up there compared to the heat down in the valley and we had a good time. The 3/4 mile interpretive trail through the children's forest made for a nice afternoon stroll. The trail is a "hands-on nature experience designed by and for kids." The Children’s Forest Visitor Information Center is staffed by youth volunteers and they have hands-on exhibits and maps, books, and trinkets for sale. Also along the Keller Peak Road are some fantastic dispersed camping sites with cool rock formations and the 4.5 mile Discovery Trail. Someday we'll have to go back and explore more :)
