Idyllwild Camping Trip April 14-16

haha sounds good. Should I be airing down for the ride into the campgroud? Not sure the distance is from after hitting the trail to the campground. Thanks!

 

I will be. At least 25psi just to make the ride better, but the trail isn't demanding enough to need it if you don't want to.
If you drive straight through, it will take 30-45 minutes to reach camp.

 

I have been really wanting to check this place out...

 

hey bud sry i didnt make the pizza port trip hope you guys had a good time! I felt like it was a bad idea to drive 3hrs away to drink and have to drive back lol.

 

All good Hopefully we'll catch you at the next one. Stayed from 10-5 to have a few beers and have time to sober up before the drive home.

 

Shit forgot about easter lmao

 

Psh...I trust ya

 

Air down strictly for comfort. Your call.

 

What camping area you guys gonna be at. Im gonna try to make it!

 

Oh for sure. I wasnt sure if it was just a short drive or a long one. for 30-45 minutes, def gonna air down a little.

 

For anyone coming up Bee canyon from hwy 74 (that hasn't done it before) here are coords for the 'water crossing'

If you go about a mile or less, up the trail from the watering hole (hairpin turn at "North Fork River"), the campsite will be on the right hand side. There is a long 'driveway' from the site to the trail. Cant miss it. If you look along the google map, there is a creek called Stone creek, the site is right along it where it crosses the trail.

 

So just googled it all, between the trailhead address and the coords you just shot us, the route looks like this, is it correct?

 

Yes sir

 

Bee Canyon embarassingly defeated my girlfriend and I over the holidays.

All the snow and rain made it so damn muddy that we played it safe and turned around. Had to meet the family in Idyllwild for dinner.

Only made it half way

 

good looks holmes

 

Wow, I've never seen it not dry and dusty. Smart move turning around if you two were solo, would suck to get stuck stranded.

 

how long ago was this?

 

Christmas Eve.

 

Yeah I'm fairly confident we could have made it, but didn't want to risk it. We were sliding into the mountain on every slight slant of the road. Better than the opposite lol.
