The Axle Benders Offroad 4x4 Club SoCal hosted a trail run in the Beauty Mountain WildernessSaturday, Feb. 19. Several four-wheel drive vehicles took part in the event they named, the “Cooper Cienega Truck Trail Valentine Run.”The four-wheelers in mild temperatures and sunshine referred to the trip as a "bunny run,” because the trails were fairly easy to navigate, but still have some obstacles presenting small challenges for the less experienced members.The Cooper Cienega Truck Trail is one of the trails in the Beauty Mountain area near Aguanga. The approximate elevation is 4,724 feet above sea level with many tight turns, wash outs, rocks and hilly terrain. The trail run began in the Terwilliger area of Anza and ended up on Chihuahua Valley Road near Sunshine Summit. Clu
