Land OwnerUSFS
This trail is a very popular track between the Big Bear Village and the Snow Summit resort in both winter and summer seasons. The trail is bi-directional; however the eastern half of it is a connector from Going Green back to the base of Snow Summit so there can be swift MTB traffic from west to east in that area. It is a very popular spot for tourists and locals so riders should be cautious of the groups of families, trail runners and hikers that frequent this fun little trail.
