RIM Youth Football Games are played on the Rim of The World High School football field located at 27400 Highway 18, eight tenths of a mile east of Rimforest.
Directions to the Football Field
From Big Bear proceed west on State Route 18 to Rim of the World High School.
From the north, proceed on Interstate 15 to the junction with State Route 138.
From this point you have two route choices. Route 1 in RED is about 28 miles from this point, about an hours drive. Route 2 in BLUE is about 35 miles from this point, about an hours drive - may be quicker since the road is less windy than Route 1. Common portion of the routes is in GREEN.
Route 1 - Take State Route 138 easterly toward Silverwood Lake and Lake Arrowhead. Continue about 22 miles to the junction with State Route 18 (Rim of the World Highway/Drive).
CAUTION: About 14.5 miles after leaving Interstate 15, State Route 138 becomes very winding with sharp curves ... go slow. A little over 6 miles further, the road tops out on top of the ridge in the center of a business area. It is real easy to make a wrong turn as you top the hill. Do not bear left ... if the street signs say Crest Forest Rd., you are on the wrong road. Instead, bear slightly to the right as you top the hill and the road starts down hill. It is about a mile to the junction with State Route 18. Follow the signs and use the ramp that takes you east toward Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear on State Route 18.
Route 2 - Continue on Interstate 15 south past State Route 138 and transition onto Interstate 215. Proceed southeast on Interstate 215 to the off-ramp for State Route 30 East. Exit onto State Route 30 east toward Highland. In about 2.5 miles take the off-ramp to State Route 18. Turn north on State Route 18 for about 11 miles to the junction with State Route 138.
From the junction of State Route 138 and State Route 18, continue east toward Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear on State Route 18. Continue about 6 miles thru the town of Rimforest to Rim of the World High School. The field is behind the school. The following directions will take you to the field via the back road.
Rim of the World High School is 8 tenths of a mile past the town of Rimforest on Highway 18. You will pass a side road (Daley Canyon Road) to the left (north) leading to the town of Blue Jay. Continue straight. Shortly after passing this side road, just around a curve, you will come to a flashing yellow light (school zone). Turn left (north) at the flashing yellow light onto a road that goes a short distance toward the school bus yard, then bends right to the field and a parking lot.
For Playoff Games:
Please PARK IN THE LOT AT THE FRONT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL
instead of the above lot. FOLLOW SIGNS.
