Trail Overview

Bull Frog Loop Trail is a difficult trail located in the heart of Cougar Buttes. Composed of several different obstacles ranging from hard to extreme that will test the driver and the rig. You will wind your way through sandy washes, rocky terrain, ledges, waterfalls and V-Notches. While on the trail you will be surrounded by the stillness of the Lucerne Valley desert and welcomed with beautiful landscapes of desert and The Rocky Mountains from all sides. The perfect escape from the city. Camping is dispersed and is recommended because there is so much to explore and enjoy in this amazing location.

Some of the tougher sections on this trail make it basically a rock-crawling route, really only suited for lifted rigs on 40s—think Jeeps or Broncos built for serious off-roading. I was in my pickup and only managed a short distance before turning back.

Lots of optional routes/trails connected, we drove lifted and customized Jeeps and various 4Runner/similar suv types. Difficulty depending on what you choose to do is anywhere from a 4 to 7/8. Rock slider definitely recommended and good clearance/Ko2 tires necessary. Super fun rock crawls!
