When Bonnie Hulkower wrote she “had a lovely afternoon jaunt hiking through the Dogwood Trail at the eponymous campgrounds,” I immediately Googled “eponymous campgrounds,” as I didn’t know where campgrounds named “eponymous” might be.
Duh. She meant the Dogwood Campgrounds, after the similarly named (ergo, eponymous) Dogwood Campground Loop. OK, so I’m slow on the uptake, but I also had a good laugh at my own expense.
Turns out, the “reddish-pink” dogwood along the 3.8 mi. Dogwood Campground Loop near Lake Arrowhead are still at the tail end of peak, as are many black oak.
Bonnie reported the trail to be lightly traveled for a holiday weekend, though this is likely the last week to see color at this San Bernardino National Forest location.
