Trail Information
Highlights
Southeast of Big Bear, California in the San Bernardino National Forest and directly off of CA38 is this lone trail leading up the hill and ending just short of May Spring. Known as May Van Canyon, 2N22Y travels through this lush green section of the forest adjacent to private property as it climbs the mild hills leading toward the spring. A spring-fed water trough just outside the private property fence line is visible from the end of the trail where the greenery around it shows recent water flow. May Van Canyon is a good trail for a beginner looking for a little bit of a challenge.

A short little trail in the Big Bear area, but one I like to check out on occasion. Some rocks and roots in the road, and a lot of opportunities for pinstripes. Nothing really technical, just a rough forest 2 track.

There is a new forest order overwriting the previous closures. Most trails, including this one, are open again.

Unnecessary temporary closure of pretty much all of San Bernardino National forest. 🙄 Forest Order No. 05-12-00-23-03

Fun little out and back trail, winding through the forest. Remaining ice from old storm turned into boiler plate ice just prior to the end of the trail, and we uncontrollably slid backwards! Luckily we stayed in the tire grooves and stopped when we hit dirt. Buddy with us had the sense to back out of the way as we slid. No damage, just ego. Easier trail without ice...
