Overview

Many people know of Johnson Valley for the famous King Of Hammers and the Hammer Trails, but until recently many people were unaware of the western part of Johnson Valley. Cougar Buttes is a offroading paradise all packed into a small 4x4 area. One such off-road rock crawling trail in this small area is Bull Frog. The trail got its name due to several rocks that took on the look of a bull frog. The trail itself is a an epic difficult rock crawling trail full of severe and extreme obstacles that will put any Toyota and Jeep to the test. The question is can they make it without body damage? Well that is something to prove if possible. While out on this Jeep Trail expect several waterfalls, large rock obstacles, and narrow v-notches. This legendary trail really is everything in a small package. On top of some legendary offroading, the area is perfect from everything from RV camping, to overlanding, to tent camping. Thus you can make a day trip of it or weekend adventure. So pack the camera, and prepare yourself for one awesome time on the legendary Bull Frog trail near Lucerne Valley, California.
