    The Pilot Rock Truck Trail (Forest Route 2N33) is a trail of little difficulty with some optional spurs of varying difficulty. Any vehicle with some ground clearance should make it through this scenic and stunning trail. If you own a Subaru/modern station wagon it would make it through, albeit with some likely damage to the bumpers. I rode this trail from west-to-east and avoided the majority of the more difficult offshoots that the trail offered. If you want to have a nice, relaxing ride then this is a great place to head out to if you’re passing through the Big Bear Lake or Silverwood Lake areas. Enjoy the videos!

    Such a fun and nice trail! I went a few weeks ago when it was raining pretty decently but the west to east direction. Might go up again this Saturday with a small group too

    Pretty muddy. Lots of fun puddles to go through. Went alone so didn’t get to take much pictures or videos but a few spots were deep.

    Adding this to my list of trails to check out. Looks like I could go through Cleghorn, stop by the lake for lunch, and then head over to this trail. Thank you for sharing!
