This was a good one. The rocky hill section could be difficult for vehicles with smaller approach/departure angles.

There is a deep and sharp mud hole (4ft deep and 4ft wide with almost 90 degree walls) from a small spring right in the middle of the trail (34.31001, -116.93611) before the rocky hill climb. You can go around in a med size vehicles but big trucks might not be able to go around and if your going down hill I can see that someone might flip on their roof.

The trail overall is in good shape, but there is a tree blocking the trail near the east side. So don't use this as a short cut when crossing the areas.

Great beginners trail that’s a step up from 3N14 or 3N16. Nothing too difficult any 4 wheel truck can handle. Took it from 3N14 to 3N16 and came down that rock hill climb (waypoint 2) with ease.

Agree with the previous poster, added spice on our drive over to Coxy…. just in the opposite direction. More of a challenge than the dirt roads over here.

Fun little side trail! Decided to add a little spice to my run on the way to The Squeeze! Jumped onto Holcomb Creek Road from Coxey Road and it's a nice little change of pace from the easy drive up from Hesperia. Only one major section and its a rocky downhill that if you're not ready for can be a challenge otherwise if you're seasoned it won't be much of a challenge but rather a good time, haha!

The trail should be open now after being temporarily closed due to the related construction activity.

The trail is closed for 1 week. They are grading 3N14 so they can put new bathrooms in at Big Pine Flat.

This trail is fun and very scenic. We came in from the west end, off 3N14 and stayed a couple nights at the yellow post campsite. Can be done with 2wd, but high clearance is definitely recommended.

I decided to tackle this trail over the weekend for the first time. I'm still new to off-roading so this trail was on my list of trails to get my feet wet, so to speak, at traversing somewhat difficult rock obstacles. Due to poor planning, I entered this trail from 3N14 which ends up putting you at the top of the rock waterfall. "No worries", I thought to myself. That was until I got out of the truck to determine a line and saw what I was up against. After staring at the waterfall for a few minutes trying to determine the best path down (no body protection on the 4runner), I finally swallowed the lump in my throat, got back in the truck, and took the bypass around that sh**!! I go out alone so I just couldn't find the courage to tackle that hill without a spotter. Overall it's a great trail and there is an easier bypass around the waterfall should you decide to chicken out like me!

Ran this trial about a month ago. It was still snowing believe it or not. The ice made the hills in the middle of the trail pretty fun. I want to go back for sure.
