An excellent Jeep trail filled with rock obstacles that vary in size from small to large. A technically challenging trail that's perfect for all rigs with 4x4 and high clearance.

From Highway 18 east of Big Bear Lake, follow signs to Big Bear Landfill, heading northwest from mile post 58. Turn left before the substation and follow Holcomb Valley Road, F.S. 3N16, uphill 2.2 miles to F.S. 3N02 on the right.
Moderate: 6/10 Rig Requirements: At least 35's and at least one locker.
42 miles, but can be shortened if time becomes an issue, just change route back to Hwy 18 and end at Wyatt’s. This is a large loop. Hwy, Forest Roads and Trails. No single large obstacle, just two tough boulder fields. Wet tires add to the difficulty as you cross Holcomb Creek several times. Stock vehicles not recommended, but some try it going downhill. Winch, lockers and skid plates highly recommended.
Moderate: 4/10 Rig Requirements: No modifications needed.
This trail is 16 miles long. There are some deep sandy sections where 4WD will be required during some seasons. The creek section of the trail gets very rocky, and will require careful lines and/or spotting around tight corners with ruts and rocks up to 12" in height.
Rig Requirements: No modifications needed.
This 19 mile scenic loop winds through Holcomb Valley, offering a glimpse into the area's Gold Rush past with marked stops from the Gold Fever Trail. Expect mild terrain with occasional puddles, picnic spots, scenic pullouts, meadow, and forest views. The route begins and ends at Hwy 39 North Shore Drive and Van Dusen Canyon (3N09), travels through the Gold Fever loop, back on Van Dusen Canyon, over to the beautiful views on White Mtn, then back down the Upper Holcomb Creek Rd (3N089), which making navigation easy to park truck and trailer.
62 Miles.. A lot of hwy driving to trailhead. Steep rocky climbs with large boulders from 4,700 ft. altitude to 7,160 ft. altitude. Route leaves Wyatt’s and travels to Arrowhead Lake, then back to Wyatt’s. Rocks are often covered with fine sand making for poor traction. Hard-core modified vehicles only. Somewhat easier if driven downhill in reverse direction.
