"Cougar Crest is a rocky, technical trail that measures 2.6 miles one direction. You <br /> can loop it with a couple of gravel roads, or ride it as an out-and-back.<br /> <br /> Frankly, Cougar Crest is probably one of the best trails in Big Bear. The views of <br /> the lake and the town and ski resorts across the lake are jaw dropping, and the <br /> rocky, technical singletrack is very different from the trails on the south side of <br /> the lake--in a good way. Where many of the trails on the south side are loose and <br /> rocky with plenty of baby heads flying around as you blast down the trail, the <br /> rocks on Cougar Crest are big and imbedded in the trail, providing a classic rock <br /> garden feel that will punish your suspension--and your body, if you don't pay <br /> attention. Towards the bottom of the trail, things open up and smooth out, <br /> allowing you to blast down on mach 10! Just keep your eyes open for hikers.<br /> <br /> Note: mountain bikes are not allowed on the Pacific Crest Trail (which passes the <br /> top of the Cougar Crest Trail)."
