2N93 Wildhorse Meadow

Difficulty Accuracy: Spot On

The only difficult portion of the trail is at the very beginning. There are a couple of rock gardens that gives this trail its 3 rating but after those I would say the rest of the trail is a 2. Very scenic overall with good camping and access to other trails.

Were staying in the Moonridge area and had time to kill. Drove up Sand Canyon until it tied into 2N93 and ran the trail backwards based on this writeup. Trail was very easy going and in fact we never put it into 4-wheel drive. We were going to have lunch at the yellow post site but someone had beat us to it so we ended up having lunch at the end of Lightning Gulch. The meadows were showing signs of the drought and the grasses were starting to turn brown. At the shooting site in Lightning Gulch we picked up all the spent shotgun shells left on the ground and then enjoyed lunch before continuing on. I had the new Trail Offroad app on my phone and was using the "Follow" feature. My wife loved the face that the waypoints scrolled by as we drove past the spot and she was able to read about each. If you haven't downloaded the app give it a try. (Only works on IOS at this point).

My friend Robert was my trail backup when I lived in California. He is doing an excellent job of running the trails and providing much-needed Trail Reviews, check out these from 9/1/20 and 8/3/20

We had recently driven 2N93 and decided since it was on our way home to drive it again but starting at the Big Bear end this time. For almost its entire length its covered in rock, perhaps 3-4" size stones. Its a very very bumpy ride even when aired down. It was also busy this weekday, passing 6 dirt bikes, 2 vehicles and 1 jogger coming in the opposite direction. Prone to slides, these are evident in a few places on the trail and one cleared recently which I included a photo of.

We noticed the smoke above the mountains from the Apple Fire and were concerned but a quick investigation revealed there was no threat to Big Bear and all roads were open. FYI the Mill Creek Ranger Station on Hwy 34 is closed where we thought we ask about the fire. This is a wonderful trail to take to get away. Open only to street legal vehicles. Inspiring views and lush forest around the meadows. Much of the trail not in the meadow area is very rocky. Easy but rocky. Airing down makes it much more comfortable. In the Meadow we saw the gate to the Green Canyon trail was open (it had been locked on previous trips). We noticed several trails off of Wild Horse that perhaps the local TOR Mapper will get to. Lots of exploring of trails can be had around the meadows. As you get closer to Big Bear there was lots of folks walking or running the trail...some with headphones and oblivious to us so be careful in that area. Heres a tip, we printed out the map and waypoints to take with us and my wife enjoyed tracking the trip and reading comments for each waypoint.

Beautiful Trail and not that hard. If coming in via south then the initial part is a bit intermediate but the rest is simple. The views are insane on this road. Wife and me camped deeper in the woods but headed out to view the sunset. Strong winds in this area but not bad. I will say this! Some very suspicious guy parked next to our Jeep in a Toyota Camry at 10pm by Wildhorse Meadow and started acting super suspicious. He walked around with an IPAD and light looking for something. I then approached him to greet and he literally gave me the weirdest hello. A hello like what do you want? I let him be and noticed he was looking at his car like if he was a detective or something. At this point my wife is scared and I'm ready to react if things go bad. The guy grabs his light and just ventures deeper into the forest leaving his Victorville plated Camry there. Once he was far into the forest we just got up and left to find another site. Creepy and unsure what he was doing there by himself that late. He didn't look like a hiker nor offroader.

Did this trail a year ago, but on this day was closed. 2wd trail with views of nice meadows. Small challenges at the beginning of the trail (south entrance).

We did this trail after coming up Clark's Grade. This is a very easy trail (no need to ever go into 4WD) but it is very bumpy and rough. Going in late August, it was not particularly pretty either. Probably the main reason to take this trail is for some of the camping sites. There are many better trail options in Big Bear than Wild Horse Meadow.

Nice easy mellow trail. Took the family for a picnic at the yellow post site. You don't have to need to air down, but some rocky sections can be bumpy. Most of the trail is a scenic easy drive.

The trail is open until the snow returns. This trail is absolutely one of the most beautiful trails I have done! We did this trail as part of a trip that ended with Rattlesnake Cyn., it is not overly technical or difficult... just amazing views and pretty country! A MUST do!

The trail is open and probably our new fav. We ran this trail in 2wd aired down with no problems in the tacoma. Great views and great camping/ lunch spot at the meadow! were definitely going to plan a camp trip up there. Thanks to Trails off road for sharing this trail info !

We started from Moonridge 2N27 which met up with this trail 2N93 around #15 in this guide. Drove it all the way down to the starting point #1 at the 38. Very easy drive. Trail in good condition. Beautiful in many areas.

The trail was open and we drove the entire length. Not another vehicle or person on the trail. The road was in good shape. The Northern section was damp from recent thunderstorms but no mud, ruts or sitting water. Great weather. The meadows were quiet and lushly green.

Making the rounds on some of my trails, at 12 miles this is one of my favorites! And yes, it's open! At least until the snows shut it down again.

It's been reported by Robin, a frequent off-road user of our trails, that this trail has been closed seasonally, I'll mark this trail closed along with connecting trails, 2N93F - Wildhorse and 2N93G - Lightning Gulch. Thanks Robin

Tried the entrances on either end and both were gated. The north trailhead was gated at Hwy38 which also prevented access to joining Sand Canyon trail, The North gate had a sign stating closed for the winter.
