WanderThe Rim
Climb high, look closer.
A pocket guide and companion site for curious wanderers exploring the San Bernardino Mountains, the Rim of the World Highway, and the places in between.
About Wander the Rim
Wander the Rim is a small-format guide created for people who like to notice more: the turns in the road, the birds in the trees, the old places, the lookout points, the stories, and the quiet details that make the San Bernardino Mountains feel like more than a destination.
This site is the companion to the booklet series, with extra notes, updates, and ways to carry the guide in your shop or share it with your guests.
Veer off Highway 18 and every curve brings a new town, trail, legend, or lakeside linger — from Crestline to Big Bear and beyond.
What's Inside the Guide
Each Wander the Rim booklet blends real mountain landmarks with coloring pages, activities, and field notes made for the drive.
Mountain Stops
Scenic routes, small towns, roadside discoveries, and places worth slowing down for.
Nature Notes
Birds, trees, weather, lake life, and the little things that make the mountain landscape feel alive.
Local History
Stories, landmarks, and old mountain details that add meaning to the drive.
Activities & Extras
Scavenger hunts, coloring pages, field notes, and printable extras for families, visitors, and curious locals.
Crestline, California
Veer right off Highway 18 onto Highway 138 and you'll find Crestline — a tucked-away mountain town where roadside relics hint at generations who've wandered these hills before you.
The Crestline booklet includes must-see local landmarks for your coloring pleasure, from the golden-domed Mozumdar Temple to the storied Heart Rock in the Valley of Enchantment.
The Series Keeps Climbing
The printed guide is the starting point. The Wander the Rim series will follow Highway 18 from Crestline to Big Bear and beyond, one town at a time.
Lake Arrowhead
Next stop on the Rim — a lakeside village booklet is in the works, following the road further into the pines.
Running Springs
A quieter mountain crossroads, next in line for its own Wander the Rim edition.
Big Bear
The Rim's furthest reach so far — Big Bear rounds out the first leg of the series.
