3/21/15 Up to Big Bear again, this time down into Holcomb Valley. Lots of fireroad, but also some great stretches on the PCT, for over 16 miles and over 2,000' of gain.
1 Up the Cougar Crest trail on the North shore of the lake. Here you can see the Snow Summit ski area (with man-made snow) on the South shore and then San Gorgonio in the distance (with real snow).
2 On the PCT now looking down at Holcomb Valley.
3 Down some fireroad into Holcomb Valley. It's a nice area, but too bad there isn't a singletrack route down here.
4 Loop around the valley with Bertha Peak (I believe) on the far side of the valley and snow capped San Gorgonio in the distance.
5 Back up to the PCT on the ridge. The awesome singletrack is a relief from the fireroad.
6 More excellent singletrack.
7 Heading back down now with great lake and San Gorgonio views. Another great run in the books.
