English: View of the mountains, The Arrowhead, and Hot Springs Hotel at Lake Arrowhead, ca.1910 Photograph of a view of the mountains, The Arrowhead, and Hot Springs Hotel at Lake Arrowhead, ca.1910. The hotel is nestled along the base of the mountain. Tall trees surround the small community while smaller trees and shrubs cover the mountainous surrounding areas. The buildings are at most three stories tall.; "'THE ARROWHEAD': The Famous Emblem of the Salt Lake City Route is located in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains directly above the City of San Bernardino, the arrowhead landmark can be seen for miles around. This important landmark has for centuries been a symbol of the San Bernardino Valley to the Native Indians and then to the pioneers and settlers that followed. It is believed to be a natural landmark. The face of the arrowhead consists of light quartz, supporting a growth of short white sage. This lighter vegetation shows in sharp contrast to the surrounding chaparral and greasewood. Indians who inhabited the San Bernardino Valley believed that the arrowhead pointed the way to the hot mineral springs below, with healing qualities, and thus considered it holy ground. Through the years, numerous forest fires have caused some erosion. But the arrowhead landmark continues to preserve its uniqueness and remains a symbol of the 'pioneer spirit' of the San Bernardino Valley. Location: North of softball field in Wildwood Park, at intersection of Waterman and 40th St, Hwy 18, San Bernardino" -- unknown author.; "Arrowhead Hot Springs is not only an enchanting playground, but it can take it place as America's finest spa. The Arrowhead waters have been known for centuries as superb, restorative waters. The unique natural steam caves, carved into the heart of the mountain, reached within elevators from the main hotel building, are filled with invigorating vapors and provide a thrilling source of exuberant vitality. The mud baths, waters, springs, and all the other facilities of this great beauty-giving, restful establishment of Mother Nature herself, are contained in the Curatory. The Curatory is under the direct supervision of a renowned therapeutic expert.
