San Bernardino Mountain color spotter Alena Nicholas sends these shots of Lake Gregory as it nears peak. It, and nearby Lake Arrowhead, should be beautiful this weekend.

Lake Gregory is the closest major San Bernardino mountain resort to the Los Angeles basin.  Exotic and native trees surround the lake, providing a colorful mix of yellow, crimson, purple and orange.

A 2.5-mile trail loops the lake, providing for a scenic walk or run. This hike is short and easy.

Rowboats, electric motor boats and kayaks can be rented near swim beach, to see the color from the water.
