Last weekend’s Fishing Derby brought a lot of life to the mountain — early mornings at the lake, packed parking lots, and that feeling that things are starting to pick up.

This week keeps that momentum going. A mixed stretch of weather, more people out and about, and a handful of solid things to do if you’re sticking around the mountain.

Also, if you haven’t grabbed it yet, the Mountain Events Calendar is live — easily the best way to keep tabs on what’s happening without having to piece it together yourself.

Let’s get into it.

A bit of a mixed bag this week — mild and pleasant early, then a shift toward cooler, wetter conditions heading into the weekend.

Thursday (Apr 23)
High: 62° | Low: 44°
Partly sunny and comfortable.

Friday (Apr 24)
High: 63° | Low: 45°
Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers late.

Saturday (Apr 25)
High: 55° | Low: 43°
Cooler with periods of rain expected.

Sunday (Apr 26)
High: 56° | Low: 42°
Cloudy with lingering showers possible.

Tapia’s Red Cabin — Running Springs [31956 Hilltop Blvd, Running Springs, CA 92382]

A classic breakfast and lunch stop in Running Springs, Tapia’s Red Cabin is one of those places that keeps things simple and consistent.

It’s known for hearty portions, quick service, and that familiar mountain diner feel — the kind of spot you can roll into after a morning outside and know exactly what you’re getting.

Whether it’s breakfast, coffee, or a casual lunch, it’s a reliable go-to that locals have been coming back to for years.

Fun fact - Tapia’s Red Cabin was one of the top rated breakfast spots on the mountain from our March survey!

Running Springs Town Hall Encourages More Local Involvement

A recent town hall meeting in Running Springs is helping spark renewed interest in community involvement, bringing together residents to discuss local issues and ways to stay engaged.

The meeting focused on giving residents a better understanding of how they can participate in local decision-making — from attending meetings to getting involved in community groups and initiatives. It also highlighted the importance of communication between residents and local leadership.

The event reflects a broader push to strengthen community engagement across the mountain, especially as local issues and growth continue to impact residents.
