1N09 - City Creek

Whether you are into overlanding, 4x4'ing, or rock crawling, the San Bernardino National Forest is a common area for people to seek adventure and memories. On the front side of Big Bear is an offroad route that is still barely known, even though it is right off Highway 330, the main highway up to Big Bear. 1N09, or City Creek Road as it's also known, is a magical scenic drive that can easily be made into a day trip or weekend adventure. The trail itself is relatively easy, but as you travel east among the dense forests, you are pleasantly surprised by the many water crossings the trail has. So the next time you go up to Big Bear to do a little wheeling, instead of overlanding on 3N16 again, check out 1N09 City Creek Road for a taste of the mountains' lush forest and tranquil beauty.
