Crisscrossing the San Bernardino Mountains and our local ranges are numerous hiking trails that offer a great way to "Live It" through exercise and spiritual renewal. Consider this quote from naturalist and author John Muir:
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
But what to do if one gets lost while hiking? The U.S. Forest Service has some answers.
Carry a map and compass. If lost, don't panic. Rather, observe any landmarks and use them to locate yourself on the map. And think back to how you arrived at your location.
If on a trail, stay on it. If daylight or your strength is fading, or you are injured, stop where you are.
If all else fails, streams and water drainage routes will often lead to a road.
