Green valley lake to Big Bear lake - 02/10/2018

[Bradshaw13]

The trails we will be taking are easy but exciting. We will also be stopping for lunch so be sure to pack one. There is a possibility that there will be snow on the trails. Subject to weather conditions.

Hi Brad,
We are new to this overloading lifestyle. We have a 2008 Fj Cruiser and is not a 4x4 but it has the rear diff lock. Do you think we can make all the way? Plus since are new to this, my car doesn't have any upgrades for overloading.

Yes you will be able to do it no problem

The ride will only be a day, so you’ll be able to finish the trails before you have to leave.

Can you provide a little more info on the route you plan to take? Are you going to take 3N16 Holcomb Valley Rd.?

We will start on crab flats road to 2N54 from 2N54 to snow slide Rd, may not be able to take that route due to weather conditions. The other possible route is crab flats to Holcomb creek. We will be leaving on Holcomb valley rd

2n54 Snow Slide Road should be fun. I am interested. However, Holcomb Creek Trail is considered a difficult trail, and I wouldn't recommend it.
See the trail review at TrailsOffroad.com here:

3N08 Holcomb Creek Road is an easy trail, but, it is not near Green Valley Lake. You would need to get to it via. 3N14 Coxey Road, or 3N16 Holcomb Valley Rd.

The week before my father and I will do the trials and see how the conditions are. We are aiming to do snow slide because the views are great and we could also go to butler peak if the gates are open

Would we be meeting between 8-830am sharply or have some other preference?

We will be meeting at the start point between 8-8:30 and be leaving to go on the trails a little past 8:30

The day opened up for me so it looks like I will be able to make it.
