Big Bear Area .GPX files

If anyone is interested, I got pretty much all of the San Bernardino Mountain's Trails and lots of waypoints in .gpx format. Basically all of Cleghorn, Big Bear and Bighorn Wilderness. Also a few random areas by the Salton Sea such as Truckhaven, Ocotillo Wells, and North Glamis Hot Springs. Also got some OC stuff in there too. I figured I'd share if anyone wants a link to the files in a Dropbox folder. Idk if the trail colors will carry over but they are colored for difficulty. The .zip file is to big to upload here, so let me know if you want the link and I'll PM it to you.

There are two ways I can send over the files. The first way is; I can send you a link to the Dropbox .zip folder that has all the individual tracks and waypoints as individual .GPX files.
The second way is the easier way in my opinion. I can send you an email with the single .GPX file that has everything (San Bernardino National Forest) in one. If you are using apps like Gaia or MotionX (Possibly others too), you can import the file directly to your device from the email. Just make sure you send me your email address in a PM. I will also send the link for the .zip file as well in the email if you'd like.
Let me know which way you want me to send it over to you in a PM.


If the colors carry over for you (I don't think they do),my color systems is the following:
Green = Easy
Blue = Moderate
Red = Difficult
Orange = OHV Trail (for dirt bikes, etc)
If there is any pink in there it's just a random track I've recorded. I tried to pull all those out though for you guys.


EDIT: I have and will continue to update the linked folder as I get more trails. I'm just going to rename the file in numerical order as I get more. If there are any trails that you have that are not in my files, please share so we can have a more complete file.


DISCLAIMER: A large majority of these tracks and waypoints were NOT recorded or created by me. The only thing I have done with these tracks and waypoints has been color coding, name tracks more effectively, clean up some junk waypoints to have less clutter. My sources for these tracks have been Friends, Trails Offroad, GPS Depot, GPS Owl, other forums and the few I've created myself. All I am doing is sharing my collection of tracks and waypoints for others to download easily.

Also I always like to see what people are using for a GPS. I'm just using my iPhone with the MotionX-GPS app. So far I've been really happy with it. It has the ability to save maps offline and it's pretty cheap. I think $3 for the app and $5 for the ability to download offline maps. Only complaint is maps take a while to download offline and no options for different waypoint icons.
 
I've been looking for some GPX files for the trails that are north west of Idyllwild in the San Jacinto mountains. I had some but lost them somehow. I got most of the other stuff up there but nothing really in north west region. Specifically the Black Mountain trail. It's the blue moderate trail on this map.

Anyone got these trails?
 
I've only used it on two different trails but so far its been great. Thank you again, you have a pretty extensive list of trails!

PS: The trail rating colors do show up on Gaia for anyone using it

PM'ed.

How do you like Gaia? I've heard good things about it. Anything you don't like?
 
Dude thats dope AF! I'm interested for sure. We're going to Big Bear next weekend.

I use Open Android Maps on Backcountry with a dedicated 10" Galaxy Tablet on a Ram mount. The maps are easy to download; you can dl a whole state at a time. All those trails in your picture are mapped, but I like that you rated them. Are they named as well? The open android maps have some routes names with forest service road number, but not real names like "Gold Mountain"

I messed around with gaia but downloading areas was a nightmare
 
I was supposed to go up there today but everyone bailed. I may be interested for next weekend. I'd love to have a mini tablet just for maps and gps stuff.

The trails are all named by trail number and trail name (if they have a name). Also there are waypoints at some of the trail intersections too.
 
Understanding the above list for dummies:
Trail # and it's (given name)

The trail Rating

E= easy
D= difficult
MD = medium/difficult

Length = miles

The notation (@) after the coordinates info is the spot where the trail starts from the gps coordinates given

I can't believe they have rattlesnake as a difficult... Thanks for that info, definitely helps with future planning.

dude you should roll with us! I'll be there Thu 2pm, leaving Sun. We have about 4 or 5 tundras, a supercharged FJ, and MIAH with the famous one tire fire. Although I guess he's locked now so you know lol
