Knickerbocker Road

Knickerbocker Road is a short, moderate mountain biking route in the Mountaintop Ranger District of San Bernardino National Forest in California. The Forest Service manages the land, and the climb is an out-and-back that covers about 0.7 miles with a total elevation gain of 153 feet, from a low point of about 7,078 feet to a high of about 7,249 feet. The most comfortable months for riding are summer and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Big Bear Lake show July highs around 80°F with lows near 50°F, and September highs around 73°F with only about two wet days in the month. That station sits roughly 500 feet below the route, so temperatures on the climb run a little cooler. Several other destinations sit within a few miles. Towne Trail is about 0.3 miles away for hikers, and the Knickerbocker Road 2N08 mountain biking route is about 0.4 miles off. Climbers can head to Snow Summit Boulders, about 1.1 miles away, and Buttercup Group Camp, about 1.7 miles away, offers a place to camp.
