Also known as 3N69, the Gold Mountain Trail heads up from Big Pine Flat Trail to the peak of Gold Mountain. This trail is rated "Most Difficult" by the Forest Service, and should only be attempted in short-wheelbase, high-clearance vehicles. There are several challenging rock gardens towards the top of the mountain. Part of the trail has a bypass known as 3N69A that is more difficult.
This trail is in the Big Bear area of the San Bernardino National Forest. It starts off of highway 18 on the east end of Big Bear Lake, and meets up with the Big Pine Flat Trail (3N16) near Holcomb Valley.
