Let's Keep the Mountain Clean!
The locals complain about visitors because when they visit, they leave trash everywhere. Do your part to help keep the mountain clean and take your trash with you. In fact, you can help out by picking up any trash you see around the mountain or lakes.
Транспорт
Snow Part 1
When a storm comes in, the weather can be unpredictable. It could be just rain or a couple of feet of snow. So here is some information that is meant to help you be prepared for the weather.
San Bernardino County is responsible for keeping the highways clear up the mountain. Typically the roads do get plowed, but depending on how much snow and incidents/accidents, it can take some time to clear. Unfortunately, we have no control over what happens to the roads on your drive up.
Транспорт
Snow Part 2
We would highly recommend that you have an all wheel drive vehicle and snow chains when driving up during snowy weather conditions. The highways will most likely require chains in order to even start heading up the mountain (highway patrol will stop you and not let you go up if you don't have chains). Also, traffic can be very slow when there is snow on the mountain roads... again very unpredictable.
There is a possibility of road closures as well but this is usually when is snows a lot (I would check the Caltrans website for road closures before heading up).
