Trail Information

Highlights

2N93G Lightning Gulch is in the beautiful San Bernardino National Forest, southeast of Big Bear Lake. There is dispersed camping throughout this trail, with a fantastic spot at trails end. This trail is a designated Recreational Shooting Site. The trail shows very little travel, you will have the site to yourself. Bring your family, picnic lunch, and camera for a day of 4wd off-road fun, or bring your camping gear for some beautiful solitude in the forest.

My friend Robert was my trail backup when I lived in California. I’m now mapping trails in Idaho. Robert is doing an excellent job of running the trails and providing much-needed Trail Reviews, check out his review from 8/2/18

Lightning Gulch is a short up and back spur off of the Wild Horse Meadows trail. Whats interesting about this trail is at the end is public shooting area. On a earlier visit some areas were carpeted with spent red shotgun husks and we were prepared this time to clean up what we could. On this visit to our pleasant surprise the shooting area had been cleaned up with only the odd spend round visible. We did this in a stock Jeep Wrangler. There is slight elevation decline in this short spur of about 500 ft. but still easy to get back up again in 2 wheel drive.

We came up on this ridge to check on Wildhorse Meadows and couldn't pass up this short spur. For being a designated shooting site it sure doesn't get much traffic, trails end is a beautiful dispersed camping spot.
