Burns Canyon / 2N02
Twenty-six rigs, one Pioneertown run.
Twenty-six rigs rolled out of Big Bear and followed 2N02 / Burns Canyon toward Pioneertown. After regrouping near Rose Mine and working through the run’s one rutted downhill, the crew headed through the Joshua tree forest on Viscera Spring Road for a break at the spring.

Gold Mountain
A different kind of trail day.
Three rigs met Gold Mountain in the rain. Mud, fog, and eventually snow turned the day into a completely different kind of run.

Big Bear to Green Valley Lake
After dark in the mountains.
Big Bear to Green Valley Lake and back—after dark. The route is familiar, but night makes every turn feel different.
