Dedicated March 27, 1976
SBROTW_130715_079.JPG: Mormon Lumber Road:
In the spring of 1852, over one hundred Mormon men donated a full thousand man-days of arduous labor, to construct a road up Waterman Canyon, past this spot, and into the prime timber, where some of their enterprising bethren established six sawmills by 1854.
The lumber hauled over this road, thereafter, was used, not only to build San Bernardino, but also throughout Southern California, where the boards were sometimes called, "Mormon Banknotes."
SBROTW_130715_101.JPG: 101 mile drive on the rim of the world
Dedicated July 18, 1915
SBROTW_130715_104.JPG: This monument duplicates the original monument commemorating the completion of the
Rim of the World Drive
in 1915.
It is both fitting and proper that this monument be placed at Baylis Park. Dr. John Baylis played a major role in the road's construction and name. Re-construction occurred in 2009. Performed by Crestline Enterprises. Sponsored by the Rim of the World Historical Society. Lead by Russ Keller.
SBROTW_130715_112.JPG: Donald S. Wieman
1900-1977
In 1932, during the Great Depression, California launched a large public works project to aid recovery. A major component was the construction of masonry walls, parapets and fountains along the historic "Rim of the World" highway. This work, widely acclaimed for its beauty and craftsmanship, was the handiwork of Donald S. Wieman. This vista point is dedicated to his memory.

The forest is made up of two main divisions, the San Bernardino Mountains on the easternmost of the Transverse Ranges, and the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains on the northernmost of the Peninsular Ranges. Elevations range from 2,000 to 11,499 feet (600 to 3505 m). The forest includes five wilderness areas: San Gorgonio, Cucamonga, San Jacinto, Santa Rosa and Bighorn Mountain. Forest headquarters are located in the city of San Bernardino. There are district offices in Fontana, Idyllwild, and Skyforest.
