    This was my very first and only trail with my xk so far.

    Gold Mountain Trail (3N69)
    Big Bear Area, Southern California
    Length: 3-1/2 miles
    Time to complete: 1 hour

    The Gold Mountain Trail can be found in the San Bernardino National Forest near Big Bear Lake. The favored direction of travel is from South to North starting on Hwy 18 near Baldwin Lake. The trail is available to street legal vehicles only.

    The US Forest Service rates this trail a black diamond most difficult trail. This trail is not recommended for stock SUV’s. There are bypasses including one around the talus slope that will allow slightly modified vehicles to traverse the trail. Elevation ranges from 6700' to over 8100' and during the winter months snow and ice add to the difficulty of traversing the trail

    Either Gold Mountain (same one cis911 posted) or Miller Jeep Trail..

    I would say Miller Jeep had more pucker moments, but I think Gold Mountain was more difficult.

    I guess Daniel at Uwharrie forest service rates it as extremely difficult I think it should be rated moderate maybe difficult.

    I would say the first mile of Miller Jeep Trail along with parts of Gunslinger (Corral Canyon) and Pancake Rock.

    lol - the irony of that!



    Hardest trail i've done.. hmmm... that would be any trail that puts a couple a wheels off the ground, lol. for the WK
    in the XJ it was Daniel at Uwharrie (needed a rear locker for sure)
    in the ZJ - she was never truly tested - I imagine she would have blown everything in Uwharrie out of the water. She had the best gear ratio, more torque, and more horse power than any Jeep I've ever owned - I will own another one again!!!!!!!!!!

    My driveway. I have had more damage to my XK in my driveway
    than any trail I have been on.

    Blueberry hill and Ski Slope at Jeepskool were quite challenging.
