Trail Overview

This out-and-back OHV trail is open to all types; 4X4's down to dirt bikes. There is a small parking lot at the beginning of the trail, right off the freeway. A displayed adventure pass is required. The trail itself offers a little bit of everything from rocky sections, to ruts, to puddle (water) crossings, to a handful of short steep grades. Some of the puddles were deeper than others. The trail may become more challenging in wet/rain conditions. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, with chances of spotting wildlife. The trail either continues on to the Long Valley Loop or continues very briefly down the hill to a locked gate, requiring you to return back out the same way. The completion time varies depending on if you do the Long Valley Loop or not.

Bear valley is finally open! Went Sunday April 14 and there’s still a lot of water on the trail. Some deep water so high clearance is definitely required. Towards the end of the loop at the end of the trail was a deep mud pit. I could not cross it alone. I was afraid to get stuck and had no other friends to help pull me out. If you’re with friends, you should be OK but if you’re solo. I would be careful at the end of the loop. Maybe wait another week or so for the mud to dry
