This enjoyable hike offers a commanding tour of the lower San Antonio Canyon. Stoddard Peak is certainly not the tallest summit around, but it provides a unique perspective of the surrounding mountains and a bird's eye view of Mount Baldy Road and San Antonio Creek. Your route is mostly on a fire road, with a half-mile scramble to achive the summit.
The peak was named for William H. Stoddard, who established the first resort in the San Antonio Canyon. In 1880, he moved from Sacramento and settled in a shady grove of sycamores and oaks in a lovely, waterfall-lace side canyon (which was later named for him) just east of the main canyon, about a mile above the entrance. Around 1886 he decided to turn his little paradise into a resort, and soon Stoddard's Camp became a favorite retreat for citizens of Pomona, Ontario, and San Bernardino.
