The Bear Skulls trail gets its name from a pair of bear skulks found near one of the early obstacles in the trail, now known as the Bear Hug. While the trail is relatively short, it offers a wide variety of rocky obstacles, tight squeezes and off-camber areas. As there are bypasses for some of the more challenging obstacles, the trail can be navigated in modestly modified vehicles while offering challenges for more heavily modified vehicles.

The trail travels through forested areas to a small lake which offers an excellent spot to stop for lunch.

OF4WD Rating

3 Standard 4WD Trail

Terrain

This is a forested trail with rocky obstacles throughout. There are steep inclines to climb and descend, and a few with loose rocks. There are a few low-lying areas with shallow mud.

Trail Cautions

As there are bypasses for some of the more challenging obstacles, the trail can be navigated in modestly modified vehicles while offering challenges for more heavily modified vehicles. The trail is tight in some places, making it a challenge for 4-door vehicles.

Travel Requirements

As with most trails, basic recovery gear, such as a tow strap and shackles, should be considered mandatory. Stock clearance, on some vehicles will be sufficient, but others will require a lift and over-sized tires to get through.
