Black Gulch Jeep Trail

Such a fun trail. We did it in 2wd prerunners. Some spots are definitely technical but manageable and doable.

Great little trail! I started on the Lake Isabella side of the trail and went up that way. Its smooth most of the way up, there are a few spots that get rocky and have some pretty large drops as you go up but as long as you have the clearance you should be fine (mine has 10.5”) Going down was by far the toughest part, its really rocky as you head down towards 178 and you have to crawl down some steep rocky drops to get to the bottom. Overall good trail just make sure you have 4 low and decent clearance, lockers would be nice but not necessary(only had to use once).

Scenic trail with lots of views of the country, Lake Isabella, and the Kern River. The trail is enjoyable and fun with some deep ruts, short hills, and rocky places to navigate through.

Came in from north end. First time in the trail and brought family. Mostly 2WD and had to do 4HI in a couple steep spots that are rocky with deep ruts.
