I just took the Bradford Ridge trail this weekend and updated the page with some photos

Definitely suggest the Bradford Ridge trail for anybody coming from Los Angeles or San Bernardino. It is the best if you are coming from the south.
If you are coming from Victorville (coming from the north) then take Bowen Ranch ... or if you have a tough enough car then the Freedom Trail.
Personally I think the Pacific Crest Trail is great too. The hike is longer, but it is nice and avoids snow, mud, etc.
EDIT: Just always remember to bring extra trash bags to pick up and haul out litter!! it was impressively clean when I went on Saturday the 18th (only saw one piece of litter!)... undoubtedly due to some tremendous and largely thankless effort from some kindhearted person...
