Ya, I got the same thing. I sent them a e-mail, but haven't heard back.
How does one sign up for a particular trail? All I saw was "beginner, moderate and difficult" trails.

Look under "Trail Rides"
Here is the info. Goldmine is the beginner, sort of an oxymoron since it's rated as difficult. It's really not bad at all though. There are some great rock striations to stop and look at if you get a chance and an amazing view of Big Bear Valley.

Trail Rides
Gold Mountain Trail
Difficulty Level: Beginner
Vehicle Requirements: 4-Wheel Drive
The Gold Mountain Trail offers some of the most spectacular views of Big Bear Lake. This trail is rated “difficult” by the US Forest Service and is a great opportunity to learn the basics of 4-wheeling in an awe inspiring environment.
Holcomb Creek Trail
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Vehicle Requirements: 31” Tires, 4-Wheel Drive
Holcomb Creek Trail offers a variety of terrain from scenic valleys and water crossings to hill climbs and challenging rock gardens. This trail will test the nerves of even the most experienced drivers.
John Bull Trail
Difficulty Level: Difficult
Vehicle Requirements: 32” Tires, Locker
John Bull Trail is the most difficult trial in the Big Bear area. This trail will challenge modified vehicles and put both driver and spotter to the test.

Larry, I'll be there with you on John Bull. Dom, JB has a gatekeeper so to speak. I'm assuming there will be Trail Teams spotters on the spot (pun intended). Once through the gate there will still be lots of grinding but the difficulty will really depend on how you utilize your spotter. FYI, the second rock garden at Holcomb can be just as challenging as John Bull depending on your line choices. Keep in mind this is the high mountains so dress appropriately, last year we ran John Bull in May and we had snow flurries and 29' temps at the top. Gold Mountain is a killer on your tires, lots and lots of sharp rocks and as said before it has it's challenges as well. There is a huge rock garden at the top for those who want to finish with a little crawling.
Looking forward to seeing some of the Mojave crew up there.
