Big Bear

Big Bear Road (FS 810) travels southwest 3.6 miles one way from a junction with Saddle Rock Canyon Road. The road is wide, and the surface consists entirely of deep sand. The sand is firm during the winter or the rainy season, but expect it to be loose and uneven during dry months. There are several scenic and secluded camping spots to the west of the road. At 1 mile, the road intersects with the Gnarly Trail (Forest Trail 901) to the west: look for a narrow wash with a cairn. There are several other side paths to the west that lead to springs and small waterfalls. The trail dead-ends after 3.6 miles at a protected riparian zone. There is no outlet to the western segment of Big Bear or to Goat Canyon.
