Great Pic, love all the colors.We went up above Painted Canyon yesterday, lots of fun.
Sounds like a great day. Post something when you plan to hit Gold Mountain. Ive done it several times. It is a lot of fun.I'm local to the LA area as well and have been having lots of fun hitting Rowher and Cleghorn+Pilot Rock. There's a looooot of consecutive trails you can hit in the San Bernardino Forest.
We've got the ultimate weekend trip down, this is what we did the first weekend of owning my JLR and try to do it as often as we can. We did a trail run starting at Cleghorn off I-15, ending at Silverwood Lake. Then you take a quick spin to the other side of the lake and start on Pilot Rock, which takes you all the way to Lake Arrowhead. Then we stopped for dinner in the village and grab an airbnb (ended up being in Big Bear) - drank some beers in a hot tub, then woke up and did the trail leading down to Pioneertown hitting Burns Canyon on the way out. At that point we'd done the entire west to east length of the forest, the only time we'd hit pavement was to get between Arrowhead and Big Bear.
Since we're so damn addicted, we then ended up doing Burns Canyon/Pioneertown trail all the way back to big bear, aired up, hauled over to Pilot Rock, and did Pilot Rock and Cleghorn in reverse all the way until 4am when we terminated back at I-15. First weekend of ownership doing the entire west-to-east and east-to-west lengths of the forest was a great accomplishment.
Next time up we're gonna try Gold Mountain, but I doubt we'll be doing John Bull or Holcomb as my buddy's in a JLU Sahara and we don't want to hit those until we're both a little further down the upgrade path. Would be great to get a group together on these before it gets too cold.
