I'd be interested in running some Big Bear trails too if you guys do a group run. I'm booked up the next few weekends though.

Sounds good. Let us know what dates work best for you. Thanks againBecause it has been asked a few time on this thread and via PMs. Horse Thief is in Big Bear not far from Tip Top Mountain which in turn is not far from the the start Pontiac. All three are on the east side of Big Bear along the same main forest road. This makes them easy to run back to back.
Since the weather has been great and there appears to be some interest I would be happy to lead a group of JL owners on these basic to intermediate trails. If any of you are interested let me know. But let’s not wait until winter hits in full force because I hate trying to get mud of my Jeep...LoL
But the east coasters are picturing a trip across 6 states, not to a neighboring one.I live near Tucson Arizona and I would actually be interested in joining if slots are available and the planned date(s). It is only an 8-hour drive, which for any Montanan's on the forum probably sounds like a trip to the store
I can take an 8-hour drive and never get out of Arizona. I was shocked I can get there in just over 7 hours going through Phoenix on the I-10. Even taking I-8, which is so less congested, only adds 30-minutes, which is what I would probably do.But the east coasters are picturing a trip across 6 states, not to a neighboring one.
Pontiac is really awesome as a moderate trail. Tip Top makes me queasy, its a horrible trail to be on if there is any traffic with the drop off to nowhere lol. I like to run up from Pioneer Town and hit the Sluice on my way up to Big Bear.Because it has been asked a few time on this thread and via PMs. Horse Thief is in Big Bear not far from Tip Top Mountain which in turn is not far from the the start Pontiac.

I prefer to start the three trails I mentioned from the Pioneer Town area too. Just a much faster route to the trails vs fighting weekend winter time traffic up the 18 or 38.Pontiac is really awesome as a moderate trail.
