@@Trailsoffroad I'm not sure it was any one thing. It was the pacing, the music, even the way you included audio that came across the radio. The whole piece was practically soothing! :-)
Great video! I got a Mitsubishi Mirage, 14 inch skinny wheels, and about 6 1/2 inches of ground clearance, it's a smaller hatchback. Do you think it is good to avoid this road?
Best thing to do is head over to our trail page to review the trail. You can find the link in the video description above. I don't want to say yes or no as there are a few factors that could effect you making it. What I can say is it wouldn't be a cake walk.
Thank you! If it was just like a local medium traffic dirt road, I would be fine. But if it's a very rough and bumpy road, I won't bother. @@Trailsoffroad
Yeah, so the rangers have asked us to tell people to stop putting stickers on the signs. That trails could be closed over it. I guess it is getting really bad in places.
Thanks for watching. You will find all of this information and more on our website or apps. We have fully curated offroad trail guides all across the nation!
So nice to find this video. Thank you for making it. My wife and I owned 5 acres where 2N02 starts near Rattlesnake Canyon. I spent countless hours up in those mountains hiking and driving on those old mining roads. There's some amazing hidden gems up there.
Great video. Like how you point out all there is to see - past & present. My wife and I drove up to Apple Valley from Carlsbad yesterday to run the AV to Big Bear as our first trail with my new '22 2dr Badlands. The weather was perfect and there were some others enjoying it as well. We stopped at Coxey Meadow and took a look around at the ponds and cattle pen area. Stopped in Big Bear for late lunch - had to get our favorite Ribs. I'm looking forward to coming out in early spring to run the Pioneertown to Big Bear trail using 2N02. Thanks again!
All depends on what you plan on doing on the trail. For driving usually spring and fall, camping late spring and early summer. For more details, check out our website, the link is in the video description above.
Going through the Joshua trees, entering the tree lines all beautiful, but my go to spot is a real nice open area on the trail about midpoint of the trail, off to the left of the trail there’s a mine with a flat open area to set up, cook lunch, open up a folding chair and enjoy the wide open views amongs the mountains 34.249, -116.706. You actually highlight it at minute 13:24
Im fairly new to off-roading, dont really have anyone to go out with, id love to tag along sometime. I have a 2018 Colorado ZR2 with a few mods, would you mind escorting me and tagging along next time your on this trail?
Head over to our website for this answer and a lot more. We also have a button in our app that will open up your favorite navigation app to help you get to the trailhead.
How funny. I always break in new people on going up rattlesnake first then right on 2n02 take them into big bear and then head home. I agree perfect first trail. Everybody loves it.
Almost like the drive off I-17 and up to Crown King here in AZ. From there you can stay in the forests all the way to Prescott. Or I like to do it from Prescott starting in the ponderosa pine forest...
This trail is NOT so easy after rain, be prepared for deep mud, deep grove and crevasses and lots and lots of exposed rocks, if it's snows up the trail be prepare to slide a few times on the snow. I would recommend to be prepare with gear and maybe another vehicle to help with recovery. We took this trail on 1/8/23 and it was rough.
It's amazing how easily weather can completely change the conditions of a trail. If you're a Trails Offroad™ member we hope you left a trail review on this guide with your experience!
Oh yea, had to take it easy, specially in areas were it gets little to no sun, some parts of the trail I don't think 2 cars would fit, and that's were most of the ice was.
Nice video! This route is currently under attack by several of the (NEW) local residents with money. You know, the ones who move in & want to claim the area as their community, saying the road is private. It IS NOT a private road! The beginning is Burns Canyon Rd (BLM RC1430) and is a GREEN STICKER ROUTE! till it hits US Forest (2N02) This was a wagon road in the 1800s from Big Bear to Rose Mine & on to Warren's well (yucca valley) The recent storms have caused some rocks to block 2N02 and the ass's that are wanting to close it are useing this as firepower. Any jeep clubs/ offroaders that have a decent rig & means to winch need to get up & help clear the way IF you want to keep this route? Its a beautiful day trip & camping area. DO NOT ALLOW THESE environmental terrorists to lock you out!! Or hardass you if your up there, its your FULL Legal right to be.
Sadly this is becoming the norm here in California. Thanks for the insight. I have talked with several clubs already and they are trying to work out to go up there and move the rock. Hopefully it will be moved soon and things will go back to normal. Continue to fight and encourage others too. Thank you,
@@Trailsoffroad Great! Thanks so much! We are 35+ year locals several of us do what we can, meeting with local Sheriff & BLM about the people up there. One of us is working with BLM to get "Open Route" green sticker signs reposted to keep these people from screaming "PRIVATE ROAD" They are tied in with The Wildlands Conservancy so i fear there's another Land Grab on the horizon. I hope the offroad clubs are aware of DAC (Desert Advisory Council)? They help to inform the BLM of needs, wants & concerns of the public. They just held a meeting in Ridgecrest & i believe the next one is in the Palm Desert area.
You will love it. I have done this trail probably over 100 times in my life. It never disappoints. Make sure you put up a trail review on our website (Link in the video description). Thank you for watching - Josh
I saw this video last year, saw it again today, must say I already feel like I was in nature watching this. I'll definitely have to check out this trail as it's local to me. Great commentary too!
@@FloridaJeepRides It sure is! Next time out west- look us up, or we just started writing guides in Florida, we can connect up with you out there sometime!
There are a few spots that could give a 2wd problems. I am not saying no it can't but you might want to review the trail page to get a better idea. The link is in the video description above.
It could be done in a 2wd. It will be a bit hard in spots but it is possible. Please look at the trail review page in the description for more details.
Wow trails looks awesome. Want to know if this trail is able to pull camper trailer. Mine is Geo Pro G19QB, has off road package. I don’t want to go rough road. Just have scene driving and camping. How many miles start to end. My truck is lifted 4x4.
head over to our website, it will help you answer a lot of questions. The link is in the video description above. Could you probably, but it might give you a little trouble on a couple of the hills.
I did this trail in January. There was a lot of snow once we got up into the mountains. Incredible adventure! I would be interested to do it again in the dry
You should do it this summer. Do it one of two ways, start up in Big Bear around lunch and slowly work your way down and have dinner at Pappy and Harriet's or start early at Pioneer Town and head up the mtn for lunch in Big Bear
@@Trailsoffroad nice. I started in pioneer town and finished near Bass Lake. After recently doing Gold Mountain, they both end somewhat near each other
Yeah they do. We usually just run up 2N02 the cut over to Gold Mtn 3N69 and do a few trails in Holcomb Valley, exiting at the end at 3N16 in Fawnskin or driving down 3N14 into Apple Valley.
Best to follow the rules up there. Some trails rzr's are legal while others not. Unfortunately breaking the rules only helps the groups win the fight to get the trails shut down. But there is a ton of trails in that area that are rzr legal, just ask the forestry office. You can find which office it is on our website, link in the video description.
probably, but it would help a lot to air down. Head over to the trail page to get all the information needed to plan your trip. The link in the video description
this is the first trail i planned out and drove in my 4x4. i did the same exact route you did from pioneer town. great trail! i would like to go back and do it again now that i have a couple more years of offroad experience.
You can do the trail in 2 hours pretty easy. Give yourself a little longer if you plan on stopping a lot. You can find more details on this trails if you go to the link in the video description above.
What many don't realize is the the San Bernardino National forest used to have a lot of variety in the trees before the fires. Unfortunately the fires went through these places taking away some of the more amazing trees that grew in the area.
What you are not hearing is the 30+mph winds that day. There was a lot of audio scrubbing done that trip and some audio was torn out completely because it was so bad. But a better mic for inside the vehicle would be nice.
its for safety reasons. And if you talked to people been around long they all have stories of people either extremely lucky to be alive or fallen wheelers. Now with that said it is easy to find people. Jump on facebook and join the online offroad clubs. Or you can attend the local offroad clubs that meet in person. There are a lot in southern california.
I don’t live that far from Pioneer Town and have never taken this trail. Your video really got my interest sparked. If you want a tag along the next time you roll out there, hit me up. Great video man. Really enjoyed it
Definitely going
Well worth it. Let us know what you think
Thanks for the loop...🏁
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing this 👍😁

Wow, this is a really sweet video. Nicely done, and thank you.
Thank you, and thank you for watching. What was your favorite part?
@@Trailsoffroad I'm not sure it was any one thing. It was the pacing, the music, even the way you included audio that came across the radio. The whole piece was practically soothing! :-)
Thank you
Love these videos. Gives me great ideas of where to explore
Glad you like them! If you haven't downloaded our app make sure to check it out so you can take our trail guides with you.
So much fun in the snow too!!!!! especially down in the joshua tree area.
You saw that short clip of when we went up there in the snow. It had about 2-3 feet of snow towards the top.
This is by far one of your best videos
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all the info … planning on taking my raptor on this trail tomorrow !
Have fun, take pictures and post them on our website. The link is in the video description above.
Is this 2wd friendly? With rear lockers ?
Yes normally, but right now there is a large rock blocking the trail.
Thanks for sharing this . I hope to get out there someday i would really love to explore some California trails 👍
Thanks for watching! It is a great trail.

What was that "softball sized gold nugget" in the water???????
I found it. It looks like a Shasta Crayfish. Interesting.
Could only imagine.
Can a stock full size make this trail or does it need to be lifted

Sounds like an awesome trip. Don't forget to post a trip report on our website or app
Redwoods? Cedars?
run the trail, let us know what you think.
No Redwoods in the San Bernardino mountains.
Is this possible in 2wd with some clearance?
Most likely, check out our trail guide for more details. The link is in the video description above.
Joshua!!! Great music, beautiful shots and loved your narration man!!! Felt like I was on the trip with y'all!!!
Thank you... And thank you for watching. Have you done this trail?
What camera are you using
We are using several cameras. GH5, Sony (Can't remember the model), and a Sony Action Cam
Best time of year to do this trail?
All depends on what you plan on doing on the trail. For driving usually spring and fall, camping late spring and early summer. For more details, check out our website, the link is in the video description above.
One of my favorite trails. Great job with the video guys!

Helps out a lot.

Perfect road for my Volkswagen Alltrack after the lift kit.
It would be a good drive
Love the pan shot at 4:26. Nice work guys! Wish I coulda made this trip
Thank you John
This was my first Jeep trail..... o boy was i shitting my pants. Now i love taking new Jeepers and showing them the way on this trail.
Very cool, don't forget to post up trip reports on our website after your runs.
Great Video I’ve been wanting to do this trail for a long time. You have inspired me to do it.

Thanks for the video!! How far does the shelf roads go?
The self road is about half the trail

Thanks for watching! If you happen to get out on the trails, head over to the website and post a trail review. We'd love to see your adventures!
Put this on the bucket list for our next Jeepcation - Love the story and editing.
Why thank you! :) a little more dry than Florida.
@@Trailsoffroad We were just out in Utah and Nevada last month. It was great to see something different.
@@FloridaJeepRides It sure is! Next time out west- look us up, or we just started writing guides in Florida, we can connect up with you out there sometime!
Great video and commentary!
Thanks Vaughn!
Me and my wife went up around March of last year and there was still some snow in mountains and it was absolutely gorgeous
We bet that was nice with a touch of snow!
What air compressor are you using ?
I believe they are called Master Flow
@@Trailsoffroad thank you!
This my first time seeing your channel. I love it. Thanks for the entertainment and education on off-roading.
Thank you for watching. Make sure you check out our website.
can it be made in a 2wd truck , with 2" leveling kit and 33"tires offroad?
There are a few spots that could give a 2wd problems. I am not saying no it can't but you might want to review the trail page to get a better idea. The link is in the video description above.
@ t m I had no problems with my 2wd Tacoma on 33” also you will be fine right now in summer 👍🏼
Nice View!!
Question about the part about the narrow Shelf part of the trail about how long is that part lol...
its a few miles. But the trail isn't that narrow.
Is this trail passable in early spring?
Give it a few weeks after the last snow and usually it is good to go.
Amazing video. well explained and detailed to the point. like and sub right away.
Thank you for watching. Make sure you check out our website when you have a minute.
How do you think a 4x4 144" Sprinter with K02s, no-lift would fair?
You would likely be fine. There are a couple of spots you will need to pick a line though.
@@Trailsoffroad Thanks guys, love the videos!!
Thank you for watching.
Is this 2wd friendly
It could be done in a 2wd. It will be a bit hard in spots but it is possible. Please look at the trail review page in the description for more details.
Great video man 👍, definitely will check out your website. Was looking for a nice trail to take my buddy new to offroad that leads into Big Bear.
This is a great place to start.

@@Trailsoffroad is this a trail that can be done pretty easily in a day, terminating at Big Bear?
yes, head over to the website for more details. The link is in the video description.
How long did this adventure take you guys?
You can do the trail in 2 hours pretty easy. Give yourself a little longer if you plan on stopping a lot. You can find more details on this trails if you go to the link in the video description above.
Redwood(s) ??
What many don't realize is the the San Bernardino National forest used to have a lot of variety in the trees before the fires. Unfortunately the fires went through these places taking away some of the more amazing trees that grew in the area.
No Redwoods is the San Bernardino mountains.
Nice video. Please consider better audio equipment because you sound tinny in the Jeep. The outside shots need the mic closer to you. Thank you
What you are not hearing is the 30+mph winds that day. There was a lot of audio scrubbing done that trip and some audio was torn out completely because it was so bad. But a better mic for inside the vehicle would be nice.
Awesome video, Was just there taking the burns canyon off road (2n02) trail check out my video 2022 🤙🏽
Thank you for watching
I know it's ill advise to go alone but can it be done if you have no one to go with
its for safety reasons. And if you talked to people been around long they all have stories of people either extremely lucky to be alive or fallen wheelers.
Now with that said it is easy to find people. Jump on facebook and join the online offroad clubs. Or you can attend the local offroad clubs that meet in person. There are a lot in southern california.
Epic Trail Video - This is a great trail for new and beginners . Love seeing the verity of trails you all post.
Than you for watching. More to come

Its not a bad little trail
Front bumper on the jeep is hideous
Not a fan of the large front bumpers on the JL's
