Scully Hill
About
Scully Hill is a summit in California within the San Bernardino Unit, about 4 miles from the town of Coronita. It is a small objective, and the closest trails make it easy to fold into a longer outing in the surrounding hills. Spring is the most comfortable season. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs in the low 70s in March to the high 70s in April, with only a handful of wet days each month. Summer is much hotter: highs in the mid-90s in July and August. Several routes start close by. The Alluvial Trail and the Santa Ana River Trail are each about a third of a mile away. The Scully Hill Trail is just over half a mile off, and the Coal Canyon Trail lies a little farther at about 0.7 miles.
