After some of the carnage we witnessed this past week at GONE, we are just trying to be realistic with what to expect. This trail can get crazy (you make the trail as hard as you want), but I am definitely firm on the skids and 33" tires. This is one of the most rocky, both small to large, no real boulders to climb over, trails in Big Bear.
I ran this trail with Marc (ArchX), Matt (hardrock), someone with a Jeep Cherokee, last year. The only real issues then was the fairly stock Jeep getting stuck literally between two rocks front/rear bumper. With a little high lifting we got him out.
Also, Shi819, our son and I are going to turn this into a camping trip. Looks like we are going to go up Friday night, then come back Sunday night. I'll be looking at places to camp tonight (after I'm done with my X's revitalization). If there are enough people interested we could look at the group campsites that are available in the Big Bear area.
Also, throughout the Big Bear area, if you decide you want to stop and "recreate" or stop along a trail pretty much anywhere throughout the forest area, you will need an adventure pass. These can be purchased at many places in Big Bear, and I believe they are good for any other national forest areas here in SoCal, they are $30 for the year, and $5 for any other vehicles you may own.
Again any question, please feel free to contact myself or John *GhostX*.
