Improve Your Health: Vacation in Lake Arrowhead
Vacationing in the Lake Arrowhead mountains provides not only a much-needed respite from the heat in the valleys below, but a multitude of other health-related benefits.
“The lake and the mountains have become my landscape, my real world.”
~Georges Simenon
Before you book that beach vacay, consider heading to the hills:
- The color green, in plentiful supply due to our trees and ample mountain foliage, is known to be restful to the eyes, and calming for the mind. You’ve probably heard that looking at something green is helpful for tired eyes. Imagine what a mountain vacation does for strained eyes and frazzled nerves.
- In addition to being restful and calming, nature is rejuvenating for both the body and soul. Whether you’re soaking in the beauty of Lake Arrowhead from the comfort of your Lake Arrowhead rental property’s deck, or meandering along a nearby forest trail, the sights and sounds of nature are a soothing balm to a work-weary soul. A Japanese studyon the health benefits of shinrin-yoku (forest-air bathing, walking) revealed that “forest environments are advantageous with respect to acute emotions, especially among those experiencing chronic stress. Accordingly, shinrin-yoku may be employed as a stress reduction method, and forest environments can be viewed as therapeutic landscapes.”
“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” – John Muir
- High altitudes have been shown to potentially assist with weight loss. According to a studyof 20 obese males, conducted by a team fromLudwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany, “Levels of the hormone leptin, which suppresses appetite, rose during their [the subjects’] week at high altitude, while the hunger hormone grehlin was unchanged, and this meant they were less hungry during their stay. Their metabolic rate was also higher at altitude, which meant they burned more calories. And this, combined with the lower calorie intake, caused weight loss.”
At over 5000’ elevation, Lake Arrowhead is a perfect place for revving up the old metabolism, assuming you can say “no” to the haystacks at Jensen’s Market.
“Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.” – John Ruskin
- The benefits of crisp, clean mountain air extend beyond the relief your grateful lungs receive; Lake Arrowhead’s forests are filled with pine and cedar trees, both of which have healing properties. The scent of pine or cedar can eliminate depression and lower stress. Additionally, the aroma of cedar is effective in helping with
insomnia.

Trails
Heaps Peak Arboretum Trail (Very Easy)
Featuring 24 points of interest, this trail is an easy, self-guided walk, through native wildflowers and plants. Open 365 days a year, the arboretum is free to the public and easily accessed from Highway 18, about ¾ of a mile east of Skypark Santa’s Village.
This mostly shaded jaunt, located in the neighboring town of Crestline, is a meandering forest walk, over occasional roots and rocks. The trail follows a stream, leading to the main attraction: a heart shaped hole in a boulder, carved there by the ravages of time. Several small pools make for great places to dip your feet. 
Many are, surrounded by giant boulders and towering pines. The trailhead is located next to Camp Seely, where several scenes for the 1998 version of The Parent Trap movie were filmed.
Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (Moderate)
Although the entire Pacific Crest Trail stretches 2,600 miles from the Canadian to the Mexican border, portions of the trail weave through the Lake Arrowhead region. You’ll find multiple entry and exit points along this 40-mile 
portion of the trail. Plan to spend at least a few hours, half-day, or overnight. Aside from experiencing the beauty of nature, you will enjoy the cool on this historic trail.
Pinnacles Peak Hiking Trail (Difficult)
Lake Arrowhead offers a beautiful variety of topography. And this hike is a perfect example, with tall pine trees giving way to giant boulders and chaparral. The Pinnacles trail head is located next to the rifle range on Highway 178. But be forewarned; this hike involves actual rock climbing to reach the top of various peaks. But after climbing, you will be rewarded by stunning 360-degree mountaintop views.
