3N08 - Holcomb Creek Road

Big Bear Lake, California (San Bernardino County)

Trail Information

Highlights

3N08 is the perfect trail for the new and moderately experienced off-road enthusiast in the forest of Big Bear, CA. The trail provides plenty of dense forest scenery and some 4x4 challenges. The most notable obstacle on the trail is a rocky hill climb on the east end of the trail. This hill climb is a 40 degree climb with several moderate sized rocks and ledges. At roughly 30 feet long, the hill climb is just big enough to get the heart pumping and for you to second guess your line of attack.

Great beginners trail that’s a step up from 3N14 or 3N16. Nothing too difficult any 4 wheel truck can handle. Took it from 3N14 to 3N16 and came down that rock hill climb (waypoint 2) with ease.

Agree with the previous poster, added spice on our drive over to Coxy…. just in the opposite direction. More of a challenge than the dirt roads over here.

Fun little side trail! Decided to add a little spice to my run on the way to The Squeeze! Jumped onto Holcomb Creek Road from Coxey Road and it's a nice little change of pace from the easy drive up from Hesperia. Only one major section and its a rocky downhill that if you're not ready for can be a challenge otherwise if you're seasoned it won't be much of a challenge but rather a good time, haha!
