About This Trail

Imported description

It is not uncommon for the trail to climb until it rises to the Lip of Wildhorse Canyon. East to get the campsite permit. It is said that the small creek trickles nearly year round. It descends from the camp in a moderately to gently way to the canyon's head. It was said that if you go left, you will see a trail coming in from the Big Bear area. To follow the ridge and get to the top, you'll have to follow it with a left turn. The Big BEAR VALLEY/LEASE were both views on the other side.
