Bee Canyon to Pine Cove Road is a 13.1 mile moderately trafficked point-to-point trail located near Hemet, California that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for camping and ohv/off road driving and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
being from Colorado and now in Cali, it's hard to find rowdy trails. Did a night run of bee canyon and wasn't all that impressed. the elevation climb was cool but as far as actual wheeling, never left 2wd. trail pig is a 14 JK 2door 3" lift on 35's. I'd recommend this trail for someone who just bought a factory rig and needs to stretch their "dirt legs".
Did this trail today with my kids and my sister in my Jeep Renegade trailhawk was glad it has 4x4 it was my first time off roading and was kinda scary for my first time I was bounced all over the place but was so fun , stopped at the waterfall to do some hiking and relaxing then up the rest of the way to pinecone and then done to hemet . it was a long day nice drive but would say it was a moderate trail not easy bit that could just be because it was my first time .
Trail was nice, offered great views, longer in length. took a bit to get out of the sun and into the trees. After you pass the creek crossing g it starts to get very rutted on the way to pine cove. Recommend 4x4 at that point on. You will get Pinstriping on full size trucks.
Bumpy. You probably shouldn't try this in a sedan. Deep Ruts up high. Not terribly challenging, but does require you to pay attention.
Trail was easy if you take your time. 4x4 only needed once you get to the yellow post sites. Not a ton of traffic. Yellow Post site #2 was left trashed, who over stayed there 28/29th left plates and beer cans all over. Aside from that it was a great site.
Our first time driving this trail in our new Gladiator Rubicon. It's a fun and fairly easy trail that any 4x4 vehicle can complete; we even saw a stock-looking Jeep Compass with street tires make it all the way to the stream crossing/waterfall (but definitely do not recommend doing this trail with that configuration). Keep in mind there is two-way traffic on this trail. The first part of the trail is dusty and mostly single-lane with some occasional turnout/wider sections to allow on-coming traffic pass. The first part of the trail itself is not very difficult, however, there were so many buggies flying down the road and blind corners--we had some close calls. Making room for on-coming traffic (especially during the tight single-lane sections with a drop-off to the side) can be a bit hairy, especially for beginners--as you may need to back down to allow on-coming traffic to pass. That said, the trail itself was fun for the family--the stream crossing/water fall section is a nice cool place to stop and have lunch. As you make your way past the stream, things get more rutty and muddy. High-clearance vehicles will have no issues but if you are low, you will need some tire-placement finesse. As you approach the end of the trail, the open area allows you to air back up. You'll see a fork, take the left fork to head into Pine Cove and then a right onto the 242 to head down into Idyllwild for lunch or dinner (definitely a nice treat after a fun day of driving).
Tried the trail saturday in my rwd pf an couldn’t make it there is a spot where the ruts an mud are deep it took me about 15 min to find the right line. Once i was passed the waterfalls it got really muddy around the camps an creek so i turned around. Definately will be back after i lift the pf
Solid trail, got some technical and speedy areas. Clearance would help. Doable in 2wd but keep an eye out for mud and snow cause it's gets real messy. pretty long drive so bring snacks and water. Overall nice trail, will have to come back again.
It snowed a couple days ago. It got really technical and icy after the creek. Super super fun riding in the snow though.
Trail was fun!!! Very little snow off the trail, but you can tell where the last snow melted on the trail because there were a couple muddy spots. Other than that it was dry. The water crossing was super shallow, didn’t even go up above the tire. With the trees and mountains, it’s such a pretty trail.
nice easy trail. watch out for crazy rzr and riders bombing the hills cause it gets tight real quick
