Thanks scm! I had no idea about that, just thought it was a trail everyone seemed to like ! I have always been more a lake, waterski jet ski person and moderate hikes so never knew about rock climbing here.

Hey SamIam! Yes that was very sad to hear. Castle Rock is known for its pretty narly climbing terrain.
Here is a photo from the main climbing area: [Click Here]

Creaky! I was listening to the Fire Dept communicating with Edison regarding re-energizing those lines. Glad they were able to do so!

I just saw an article about a rock climber falling to his death in big bear July 12 and was wondering where people rock climb here? I’ve never seen them rock climbing in 30 plus years of being here.

I just went down 38. Both lanes are open but there are a lot of emergency vehicles around the turnout near the fire so be ready to slow down.

They investigate fires to the best of their ability to determine the cause, along with any potential criminal culpability. Incident reports can be viewed at [Click Here]. Countless things can ignite a fire that should be watched for, both natural and man-made. Most wildfires, however, are caused by people and could have been prevented. Visit smokeybear.com to learn how you can help prevent forest fires.

Something really bugs me about these seemly random firse. We know about fires almost immediately which if course is a good thing. I want to know how it started. Was it lightning? Is it one of the river people being careless? What should the public be looking our for?

Good morning, Kai. I haven't traveled the route myself. But have been keeping an eye on conditions. According to CalTrans, "SR 38
[IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA]
1-way controlled traffic from Bryant St /in Redlands/ to Thurman Flats (San Bernardino Co) - Due to a wild fire"
