I'll be leading a run on Thursday of Big Bear Bronco Bash, and invite anyone who's interested to join me.

Holcomb Valley Rd. (3N16) provides a scenic, enjoyable drive for all off-road enthusiasts. Note that this run welcomes any and all Bronco's regardless of trim, etc. including Sports as well. This is basically just a dirt fire road and is easy, however, weather can affect the road, and we may come across some wash outs/ruts, etc. This is a great run for beginners and those looking for an easy "warmup" for the rest of Bash.

At roughly 26 miles, this overland trail will take you through the backwoods of the San Bernardino National Forest. Along with some great views, Holcomb Valley Rd (3N16) is also a historic route that takes you through the history of Holcomb Valley's gold rush. During this trip, you will see abandoned mines, dig sites, grave sites, pygmy cabins, and much more. Holcomb Valley Rd (3N16) is the main connector between most of the trails in Holcomb Valley, including Holcomb Creek, Dishpan Springs, John Bull, White Mountain, Gold Mountain, and many more.

Here's a link to the run on OnX, if you need/want the .gpx file hit me up and I'll sent it to you.

What you need to bring:
  • HAM/GRMS Radio GMRS/FRS Channel Primary: 16 Secondary:18 (for those of you with HAM radios that's Primary: 462.5750, Secondary: 462.6250)
  • GPS Reader of some type (we'll communicate files in GPX) (optional)
  • 1 full size spare
  • Lunch, water & snacks
  • Basic tools and recovery gear (if you don't have these, there are some good threads on this forum talking about what you get. Since this is an easy trail, you SHOULDN'T need them)

I'd like to limit the number of vehicles to 15. If you'd like to join me please post below with your name, the model of Bronco, trim level, and year. Then I'll add you to the list below.

PARTICIPANTS:
  1. Joerg Hallbauer ('22 Velocity Blue BadSquatch)
  2. Todd Beach (2023 Wildtrak, Sasquatch)
  3. Steven & Veronica (23 Red Heritage)
  4. Matthew Wedgeworth- green 90's bronco
  5. Gary & Cyndi (23 Black BaseSquatch)
  6. Joe Kiser (24 White Bronco Raptor)

Would love to join you but won’t be there until late Thursday morning.
Are you planning any easy runs on Friday?
We’ve been on runs with you the last 2 years. Had lots of fun. Hoping this year too.
Appreciate it.

Wish I had some ideas. Wanted to do Clark’s grade but looks like it’s still closed. Delamer Mountain is always fun and pretty. 🤷‍♀️Thanks for leading rides!

Jeff if you're looking for trails to run or lead, let me know. There are tons of trails up there that are currently open. For easy routes you might check out Snow Slide, Wildrose Meadows, Balky Horse, etc. I can help you figure out a route if you need any suggestions.
 
Both Snowslide and Wildhorse are currently closed. But the Forest Service is working to get them open ASAP. Fingers crossed they will both be open by Bash. The OHV Volunteers helped the FS move the big boulder last weekend on Wildhorse, but there’s still a washout the FS wants to fix. So I suspect it will be open soon. Snowslide has a massive washout around a big pipe that’s running cable or something and that’s going to take a bit longer. I’d call that a fingers crossed for Bash.

Hey Joerg is the Snow Slide washout in the same spot as before, just inside the east gate? It was closed for years for that one.
