South of Joe's Valley lies Big Bear, an easy but bumpy dirt road traversing Elk Horn Flat and leading back to the Big Bear Creek hiking trail. There are no obstacles along this route, but embedded rocks poking up will surely slow drivers down. Unique rock formations give way to a large aspen grove, providing relief from the shade. Views of Ferron Canyon are quite impressive along most of the trail. Camping is available in many spots along the trail, with the best and biggest sites in the large meadow at the end.
