Big Bear Trails

[Col_Sanders]

I am planning on moving out of the Vegas area in a few months and want to run as many of the nearby Badge of Honor trails as I can before then. These include the trails at Big Bear. Does anyone have any plans on running these trails within the next couple months? Mind if I tag along?

Rig specs in signature and I'm not a noob.

If you run Holcomb Creek, you should wait until the snow and ice are gone. This Jeep slid off the off-camber shelf road section of the trail that's about a mile from the west trailhead.

There's a group/club that meets up every first Thursday of each month to run the trails. Everyone gathers up at the "Elks Lodge" near by in Redlands at around 8am I believe.

I plan to run them as soon as the snow and ice is gone.

Yea I'd wait for the snow to melt, I once went up a trail that had no snow on the start of a trail, then while almost at the top there was snow and coming down it was nice and was not fun, took hours to come down, sliding out of control going 1-2 mph, couldn't steer or get traction.

I almost got rear ended And missed me by a few inches, a Bronco would have hit me and knocked me down the mountain, also lightly ran into a tree and a mountain side going down.

Everyone who got out their vehicles slipped and ate shit, one guy fractured their hand/arm.

I still need chains too.

I was just up in Green Valley/Arrowhead last weekend. Didn't hit any trails because of the snow (<1 foot in most places), most of it was melting quickly which created a lot of ice in the mornings and late afternoons. Day time was a slush fest and a complete shit show if you ask me. With more snow coming this weekend, I would expect these type of conditions to hold at 6k'+ through the end of the month unless a major warm up comes through before then.

Thanks for the advice. Snow was one thing I was worried about so I will wait a little while until it warms up. Maybe I can get them done in April or May. I still need to hit Crown King and Hole in the Rock so those will probably be first.

Looking to go soon. Probably May 20 weekend? Anyone down to run some trails?
