    John giving a group of intrepid beginners a lesson. 1/17/16
    Laura L.

    On a little bit of a whim, a friend and I decided to run the gauntlet of holiday crowds to try cross country skiing. When the Los Angeles Times ran an item on Rim Nordic, I thought, "Destiny, here we come." Rim Nordic is a small, wonderful place. It's run by people who are warmly welcoming, as well as astonishingly helpful to the ski-impaired. John, our instructor, was patient and had a zen-like calm. If you've never inserted a foot into a ski boot in your life, I absolutely suggest taking the class. It's only an hour, but you need all those tips and strategies to enjoy your time on the trails. There's not a lot in the main store/cabin, just some packaged snacks. Pack a lunch. (I'm not complaining about this either, because I love small places that aren't overrun by people trying to buy a slice of pizza). The class, the all-day trail pass, and the rental package (skis/poles/boots) is a bargain at $45.00. All day fun away from the city and the strip malls. Beautiful.

    Beautiful and quiet on a Wednesday afternoon

    Great place to do some XC skiing and snowshoeing! Friendly and welcoming service. I came on a weekday so there weren't any lessons happening (only on the weekend) but the staff showed me how to clip in my feet and pointed me towards the easy trail. I spent an hour out on the trail because it was warm it that day and the snow was melting fast but I still had a great first time! $33 got me ski and pole rental and a trail pass.

One would not necessarily notice the area unless you were looking for it. There are many trails and some loop around so if you can't walk too far you can double back. There is camping and group camping spots available. There are picnic areas and informational trailheads. Safety first , remember cellphones may not work in all areas. Bring food , water, appropriate clothing per the weather. Have a first aid kit accessible for emergencies. Remember that there are animals in the forest . Bring pepper spray or bear spray to scare off most wild animals and humans ! Don't forget your Adventure pass. This can be bought at the Rangers station or Jensen's store off HWY 330 in town.

I'm relatively new to the realm of hiking, and really enjoyed exploring the Children's Forest this past weekend. I would definitely label this trail as a moderate hike! While there is no major climb or obstacles, the majority of the trail is uphill. Since the trail is located in Running Springs it can also great pretty chilly, so I would suggest a jacket and pants! Luckily a member of our group thought ahead and brought hand-warmers, which were the highlight of my night. Overall, this is a hike that is great for those looking to escape the city life and immerse themselves in fresh air, plus it highlights the beauty of California's forests.

    DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY -- TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE We…read morebooked a mountain ATV ride with Enjoy the Mountain ATV in July 2026, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The first red flag was that the company did not provide a phone number, making it difficult to get help or clarification when we needed it. We followed their directions exactly and arrived 30 minutes early. We parked in the designated lot as instructed by the person at the gate, but our guide never came to meet us. We eventually had to drive into the park ourselves and locate the guide, who was parked on the side of the road. There was no clear signage identifying the company or where customers were supposed to check in. Once we finally found the guide, the intake process took approximately 40 minutes. After all of that, we paid approximately $700 for a ride that lasted only about 20 minutes. We were also promised pictures from the experience, but no pictures were ever provided. Lucky I took my own before riding. What made the experience even worse was the customer service afterward. Rather than taking responsibility for the poor communication, unclear instructions, lack of signage, and failure to provide what was promised, the company provided little to no accountability. For the amount of money we spent, this was absolutely not the experience we expected. Poor communication, poor organization, inadequate customer service, and failure to deliver what was promised. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this company and would strongly encourage others to consider other ATV companies before booking.

    This was our second time camping at Green Valley Lake Campground. Site 037 is small compared to the…read moreother sites but it was perfect for our little group of 4. There were surrounding trees so there's varying levels of shade throughout the day. There's a dumpster and recycling bin next to the campsite where you can throw trash and recyclable beverage containers. Bathrooms and grounds were kept clean by the nice camp host. Despite recent reviews, we decided we would chance it and stick with our reservations even with the mean lady camp host but she seems to have left the campground altogether and now it is only Jason camphosting. He was very nice and a funny guy to chat with! Craft's Peak Trail is a little less than 1 mile on the other side of the campground which is a nice moderate hike. The only downside were the yellowjackets! They would always come after us when food was out during the day. Our friends pup got stung by one. Cell service is very spotty. Perfect place to unplug from the grind!

She says that it's her day off and that the music on the campsite is not allowed. She was literally yelling at us and this was our first time speaking to this woman. Understandable to be mad if you this was our second warning but it was not. We did nothing wrong we just did not know. She came at us with intentions to fight and did not try to communicate with us. We told her that the other ranger told us that the music was fine. THEN she calls Joseph on speaker and starts getting mad at him and legit arguing with him in front of us. We literally tuned off the music and gave her what she wanted but she would not leave our spot. She said that she was gonna call the cops. But we were not fighting or arguing.... We gave her what she wanted. She said "if you get difficult I will have to start recording for my protection" CLASIC Karen move. The literal next day, our camp neighbors had music (in English) and she had not problem with it. We heard that music the whole day. But let it not be music in Spanish cause they she feels the need to record.... After this embarrassing interaction, both rangers actively avoided us.... We reserved the week and only spent 1 night. The spot was great, the staff not so much.
