    Gold Mountain is a difficult trail located northeast of Big Bear Lake. The closest paved road is CA-18. This trail has several tall ledges, deep holes in places, and is a tight fit for our big, beautiful trucks. There's an alternate (and more difficult) route, a talus rock slope that I opted not to drive through. I made it through with a lot of rock stacking, decent spotting, 34" tires, and a giant dent on my driver's side door. A locker is a real help here and I wouldn't want to take tires smaller than 33" out here.

    I'm not certain why Google Maps doesn't show all of the trail, but here is where it ends on the northern side:

    You're welcome guys.

    After applying a liberal amount of touch-up paint:

    What tire and pressure were you running then? Got any more pictures to share?
