Backcountry trails are wonderful and plentiful  
in California, and Fish Creek Trail in San Bernardino County is one of them. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so trekking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Fish Creek Trail gets very little precipitation; most of the rain falls all through January, and June meanwhile is the driest month. And keep in mind that there could be temporary safety restrictions in location. Different parts of Fish Creek Trail are at very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the hiking trail could be very different from other parts of it.

Briefly about the general area:
You just can't picture the amount of outdoors amusing stuff the San Bernardino Mountains has to offer. Cienaga Seca Creek is a stream that you may come across during your stay. You think that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Since you're here at Fish Creek Trail why not explore Mine Shaft Saddle; not far from here you can enjoy the trees of Aspen Grove.
A great spot to camp here at Fish Creek Trail is Oso-Lobo Campground, and during your journey here you'll meet some people from Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario for sure. Fish Creek Trail is brilliant enough to spend more than a day at, Mission Springs Campground is a brilliant local campground; North Fork Meadows is a wonderful spot. There's some flowing water close by, Coon Creek is a stream you can take a look at while here; do put some time aside to spend at Silverwood Falls if you're here at Fish Creek Trail.
Whohoo, so much entertaining stuff in one place! The San Bernardino Mountains rocks! It's always wonderful to stop at Lodgepole Spring, and a trip to Big Meadows revitalizes the spirit.
