Bee Canyon Truck Trail, East of Hemet

Have any of you done that run before? Is it any good?

 

More importantly, is it PreRunner friendly?

 

Exactly, I've only been back like a mile or so a few times when we went shooting, but never really did go any further then that.

This is about as far as I've gone:

Could be something good...

"... easy 4WD route." So does that mean its prerunner friendly?

It seems pretty easy.

 

We can give it a try one of these days ..

Derek if you can handle today, your GOOD!!!

 

im down!

 

its not terribly far from me

 

Anyone want to go today? like in the next hour? Im itchin to go right now.

 

how far is it from orange county? I might be down right now.

 

I would if it wasn't on short notice.

 

I duno, its about 3 miles east of hemet off the 74...

Yeah, my bad.. Im just sitting at home and really want to get out and go check it out. I'll go and let ya know how it was. Hell if my truck can make it yours will easily make it. You have the locking rear diff, right? So yeah, if I make it in my truck with an open diff, then for sure yours can make it.

 

Yeah, it's got the locker. It's come in handy.

 

Just got back... Yeah, you can do it in a prerunner for sure. I didnt get to the very top cause the snow started getting pretty thick and I didnt want to get stuck, so I turned around. I ended up following a couple broncos up which was cool, so I wasnt alone. I recorded the ride up, copping it off my camera npw. But yeah, Derek, I'm almost positive you would have made it up to the top since you have the locker. Me, one tire spinning like mad through most of that mud/snow. Pretty cool stream/river crossing that was about 2-3 feet deep though. Thats was kinda harry. I dont know if its something youguys wanna check out, but its pretty fun. I took a couple pics, and I'll post those in a few.

 

could you possibly give directions?
i would be coming south on the 215.

 

yeah, for sure..
Google Map'd it for ya!

 

sweet thanks. ive worked on a few houses over there so im a little familiar with hemet. Let me know next time you go and ill go for sure. Im in fontana so i think this place is pretty much in the middle of us. And i have an arb strap on its way in the mail too.

 

Nice, yeah i'll for sure let you know. Its pretty fun..

Heres the run, according to my GPS


Maybe in a few weeks, let everyone else get a chance to plan so they can come too..

Haha, it'll be weird.. Me in my old Dakota surrounded by Tacomas... I'd so be the black sheep. Oh well, its all good times..

 

couple pics.. I was way to preoccupied with driving to take pics. I needed a copilot!







Went from 1250 feel above sea level to just under 4400 ft! nice!







Last one of my truck tryin to look tough.. LOL


About 5 minutes after this picture, I ripped that black lower part of the bumper off! OOPS!

Good times!

 

thanks for the pics
