I was suprised to see the middle rock garden still hard... In fact it was hard enough to give people problems even without water. Now the east gardens were harder, but the big one at the west trailhead was super easy...

One word.... EPIC! Such a fun trail! We ran it from East-West so we saved the biggest rock garden for last! Definitely will test your skills as a driver and test your build. The obstacles are a load of fun. The 2nd Rock Garden gave the group the biggest problem. One had to finally break out the winch and another dragged the diff too much and caused a minor leak that we were able to patch up on the trail and finish it up. So grab your friends and go have some fun on Holcomb Creek!

Trail has seem some great changes to how difficult it is. I still am a firm believer this is hardest trail right now in the mtn range and all the rollovers are proving my thoughts on that.

The trail keeps getting better and better. This is easily the hardest trail on the mountain range right now.

Holcomb Creek Truck Trail is always fun. The little rock gardens are challenging, and it can be hard to pick your line even on 37s. We helped a stuck JL get through, he just needed a spotter. The rock gardens can have water in them, making the rocks slippery and even more exciting!
First time we did this trail was in 1985 with a brand new 4Runner that still had paper plates! Pictures of the White 4Runner are from the 1985 trip.

Ran this trail and had a blast. The center rock garden was very difficult with the water and sand causing the tires to slip. We got all 7 Jeeps thru with no carnage so it was a good day. Was really surprised at the amount of water still flowing at this time of the year. There was a new sign along the trail at the intersection of 2N06X that I hadn't seen before,

Awesome trail! We did it backwards and it was a ton of fun. Make sure you go with another buddy, it can be tricky.

This trail is In my top 5 list of trails of all time and a Big Bear classic. This is the trail that transformed my rig to what it is today. As many times as I've wheeled it, I always come home with some pinstripes underneath on on belly skids. Personally, I think Holcomb Creek is more difficult than John Bull.(even though the Jeep BOH program says otherwise).
Took a buddy out here in is slightly modified JLUR to earn his Jeep BOH badge (first time on the trail). Its been a few months since I was last here, but I felt like there were more rock gardens than before? Anyways, after completing it my buddy said the same thing as me: this is more difficult than John Bull, lol.

Still my favorite trail up there. The winter was hard on the trail making it a bit more fun. The landslide was cleared and washouts have been fixed. But overall, the rock gardens are torn up in a fun and difficult way!!!
Please read the reviews and share with friends. The poor guy in stock Land Crusher was having a bad day. Really messing up his rig and he was heading for trouble down the trail and didn't know it.

Fun trail had and its and a open diff in our pack. Fairly easy trail. Hard parts are the gate keeper and the 2 creeks. Everyone made it with spotting in those 3 areas. I imagine in the snow some of the off camber areas can be scary. Ran this trail in the rain once and the rocks can get slippery so winching may be necessary in some spots.

The hardest trail i have ever done, but not to bad for a first time. i have a Jeep Cherokee 4.5 inches lift, long arms, and 33 inch tires. the hardest obstacle was the west gate keeper. you will need rock slides and armor to make it safe. is a fun trail since it gives you time to breathe between rock gardens.

The trail was great, the west gatekeeper is a little torn up but making it slightly harder because of the spacing of the holes. Once these holes are filled in, the west gatekeeper will be easier than normal. A lot of the large rocks have been moved around. Sad.
The middle wet rock garden is a mess :) Lots of fun.
My New Falken Tires were amazing on the trail. Best decision I have done with the jeep was putting these bad boys on.

Hit the trail today for the first time with a group of three jeeps and a pathfinder. We ran Gold Mountain, John Bull, and capped off the day with Holcomb Creek trail. There is a little water in the creek still and trail is in great shape. The weather was great, no congestion, and only minimal bruising.

A small group of us decided to do a night run at Holcomb Creek. A few people in the group had never wheeled at night. They are now wanting to do more night runs. This is the perfect trail for that. While we were waiting for it to get dark, we did a little rock garden drag racing. Great times!

Another great trip on a great trail. Still my favorite on the mnt.
This time I decided to stop and get a good shot of the "Chair of the Off-Road Gods"

There is a small amount of snow on the way to this trail, and a little rain the day we ran it, but it is passible and fun as ever!

Trip was awesome, the trail has a ton of springs running through it right now making it very slippery. We ran John Bull, Gold Mountain, Dish Pan Springs, and a few others and we had no issues until this trail.
