Description
Cougar Crest is a rocky, technical trail that measures 2.6 miles one direction. You

can loop it with a couple of gravel roads, or ride it as an out-and-back.



Frankly, Cougar Crest is probably one of the best trails in Big Bear. The views of

the lake and the town and ski resorts across the lake are jaw dropping, and the

rocky, technical singletrack is very different from the trails on the south side of

the lake--in a good way. Where many of the trails on the south side are loose and

rocky with plenty of baby heads flying around as you blast down the trail, the

rocks on Cougar Crest are big and imbedded in the trail, providing a classic rock

garden feel that will punish your suspension--and your body, if you don't pay

attention. Towards the bottom of the trail, things open up and smooth out,

allowing you to blast down on mach 10! Just keep your eyes open for hikers.



Note: mountain bikes are not allowed on the Pacific Crest Trail (which passes the

top of the Cougar Crest Trail).
