Trail Information

Highlights

2N01 - Broom Flat is a scenic, winding, forest road leading from CA-38 in Big Bear, CA, to the area at the base of Tip Top Mountain. 2N01 serves as a great access road to this south eastern section of the Big Bear Mountains. This is a great trail for a beginner looking to explore this open area, or a great connector for more advanced wheelers looking for a quick route to Heartbreak Ridge or Tip Top Mountain. 2N01 - Broom Flats can be run as an out & back, or a connector to the many other off-road trails in this area.

Tropical storm Hillary has washed out this trail at the top about 1/2 mile from highway 38 (waypoint 1). It is passable going up with a well built rig, about a 4 foot drop and three foot climb out of the wash. However going down would take a really well built rig, as you would need to climb that 4 foot wall. That said, highway 38 is closed as well, so you can only access it coming up anyway…for now. We made it through.

There is a new forest order overwriting the previous closures. Most trails, including this one, are open again. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1105593.pdf
