RC3331 Rattlesnake Canyon

3/28/24 I'm running a stock 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro4x. 4x4 and at least 10in. of clearance is a must. The youtube videos, regarding this trail, label this as a "beginner" trail, but I'd say it's more in the moderate range. It's all relevant, I guess, depending on your rig, and with all the rain/snow we've had, I'm sure the trail has changed from past videos. It'd be fair to say that MOST of the trail is on the easier side, but that's not what you need to worry about. There are areas of deep, soft sand that you want to keep momentum through. Then there are a few, small boulder, patches that you have no other way around. Take your time to get out and map out a line and/or use a spotter. Definitely made my bunghole pucker a bit, but a great feeling once we were through. Burns Canyon to Big Bear wasn't as hairy but was definitely rough with all the exposed rock from water runoff. All in all, it was a good 4.5hr trip. Remember to research, take your time and enjoy Mother Nature responsibly.
