An easy forest service road (2N04) that crosses picturesque Arrastre Creek and has several good canyon and meadow views on the dry side of the San Bernardino Mountains. A rather short trail on its own, Balky Horse Canyon makes an interesting connector or addition to other trails in the area.

Trail Rating: EASY
Easy trails are suitable for stock 4X4’s as well as 2WD trucks and SUV’s with sturdy tires and good ground clearance. These may include seldom-maintained forest roads with occasional mild obstacles including ruts from runoff, mild rocky sections and moderate grades. Some sort of traction control device such as a limited slip in at least one differential may be helpful in some places but careful tire placement should suffice for 2WD vehicles with an open diff. Airing down is generally not necessary but may be beneficial for ride comfort. As road conditions may change, travel in groups and carry recovery and emergency equipment.
