The bite-size version of the Alpine Pedal Path — a gentle, fully paved 1.3-mile loop hugging the north shore between Meadows Edge and Juniper Point. Same lake-and-mountain views as the full path, but a quick out-the-door lap that's perfect for families, strollers, and a short leg-stretch. Mostly flat, right on the water, and one of the most popular easy walks in the valley.
Trail conditions, closures and parking requirements change with weather and season, and this valley sits at about 6,750 feet — check current status with the San Bernardino National Forest before you drive to the trailhead.
