Ran this trail after completing the Pilot Rock Truck Trail. New to off-roading, so it probably seemed more challenging to me that it actually is, but got through without much difficulty. A few of the rock gardens were more challenging than anticipated. The only issue was that when we got to the end of 2N26Y, the exit onto Hook Creek Road was blocked by a large impassable snow/ice mound left by a plow. So, we had to backtrack, and we exited via the Rouse Ranch Road Trail.

Started from trailhead as stated in description. Thinking that this was a thru route, however the gate 2n26y was locked making this an out and back trip. Combined this trail with Pilot Rock to make for a full day. Decent lift, tires and 4x4 recommended for rut hill. Lots of nice places for lunch.

I’ve been wanting to check this trail out for a while. It starts off easy but once you meet back up to 3n34x and continue on the trail, you come across more challenging obstacles. Small rock gardens and waterfalls made things a little more challenging than I expected but with the right lines you’re good. Best to go with a few rigs.

This is a very busy and popular trail. First couple of miles are easy and lots of scenic views, it gets challenging after that. Only made it to way point #9 about 2 1/2 miles in, and had to turn back. Gotta try this trail some other time. Did this trail with my small hatchback AWD with an inch of lift and AT Tires.

Accidentally took 3N34X out of Pinnacle staging area. Actually made things way more fun than we’d expected. Got some interesting looks being out there in a lifted Subaru but still a really good trail. Just take your time and choose lines wisely.

We came into 2N34 on the west end coming from Pilot Rock which is a nice combination for a morning drive and still have the afternoon for lunch and shopping in Lake Arrowhead. 2N34 like 2N33 has "Blue" rated OHV signage or "More Difficult" and I would say it achieves the rating but its not hard or dangerous nor are you at risk at any time of damaging your vehicle. It doesn't have the expansive views of 2N33 but in a capable vehicle its a very enjoyable forest drive. There are some steeper climbs that I was tempted to go into 4wd but as a test I kept the entire trail in 2wd and had no problems. The Alternate "X" route which I understand is more difficult is well marked and easy to avoid which I did. We finished the ride before noon and I did not encounter another vehicle in either direction but there is a very large flat staging area at the trail head that had some folks getting trailered OHVs ready.

Newb review w/ Family 👋
This one was a fun challenging one for us newbs. We went left at the beginning and it was funnnnnnn lol. That was probably most extreme part for us with other fun hills.
As a mom, what makes me nervous is all the dirt bikers (understandably since there is a speciality road in the middle), so just be extra aware.
We stopped for lunch at the lunch loop. It was nice to explore a little and let the kids move around.
2N26Y - Hook Creek Rd. was closed and we weren’t ready for the extreme portion of the trail so we turned around and headed back.
If you’re a newb, definitely don’t go alone. Bring lots of water because it’s hot af if you’re exploring too. Lol

My mostly stock 05 z71 burb made it through this easy, I didnt air down from my usual city/highway 40psi, but got it in 4 lo for the 2 climbs, and drive the rest in 4 hi, it was her maiden voyage, I wanted to shake the rust off.
I did come down one hill a little too quick and cased my nerf bar, no damage, just a loud F&@K echoing across the canyon. easy beginner trail with 2 inclines/declines that will get you thinking. Seasoned offroaders can speed through this, I'm just getting back into it and will be having a lot of fun with this.

Note: The trail exit 2N26Y was closed. Because it was getting darker and I just wanted to do a quick trip with my daughter, I didn’t feel like finding an alt route and just out and backed it. Schmall kine annoyed. But this trail is probably awesome for first time off-roaders. It can teach you to pick your line, switch into 4lo, drive in da slippy condish, etc. lots of fun hills, water crossings, and schmmmmmaallll kine rocks. Lots of traffic on this trail. Probably ran into like 20 other vehicles. Stock with some clearance should be enough. Happy trails!

Wonderful trail first time out on it due to rain and snow this past week it made it more muddy slippery and the ruts are even deeper than normal. I went in my stock Nissan pro 4x never high center also did straight from point 3 qq3n34x and the rut hill was a challenge

Nice trail, I went to this trail after I did Pilot Rock and halfway down the easy side of the trail, there is a fallen tree that completely blocks the road.

First trip out with (my new) stock 2015 JKU Sport. We used 4x4 but probably could have done the entire trail without it. There are also maps in the box at the pinnacles staging area. There were a handful of green sticker only trails in the area and we shared the main trail with a few groups of two wheelers. Fun easy trail.

Just took my 2wd F150 up this beautiful trail. Some parts are challenging but with the right tires and speed you'll make it. You dont need a 4x4 for the most part, but a locker does help. Some hills are fun and side inclines are a blast, just dont flip it over. My friend took his 2wd tacoma as well and didn't have issues at all. We started at Pinnacles and exited off Ash meadows rd. It was a beautiful day at devils creek, but the 1/2 hike down is a good work out.

A beautiful, clear, crisp day north of Lake Arrowhead on Willow Creek Jeep Trail. Lots of fun water crossings which will decrease as the year progresses. GPX file proved very valuable to stay on route due to the many side trails, available from each trail write-up on trailsoffroad.

Cloudy, but no rain and no snow. We came in from Pilot Rock, checked out Devil's Hole and exited through Hook Creek Road.

Stock 2016 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon - visiting friends in Arrowhead. Had to show them the Rubicon! First on-my-own 4x4 trail. Took the trail east to west at dusk (Hook Creek Rd. to 173). Recent snows and rains made for MANY water pools and fun water crossings (mid wheel depth - be prepared for sandy mud! take the pools slow - no telling what is in there!). By the time we got to waypoint 27 (going uphill) (rut hill) it was dark - hill was rather challenging and fun in the dark and slightly muddy with a lot of loose rocks and dips (next upgrade may be a LED light bar on the front!). Engaged front and back lockers (with front sway bar disconnected) and the Jeep literally crawled up this hill like a tank - not a wheel slipping (thank you Jeep engineers!). I am hooked. Where is my next trail TrailsOffRoad!
P.S. Thanks G. Martin for a great write-up on this trail! Felt like I knew the trail before I ever got there!
