Cleghorn Ridge

Went from Cleghorn/Hwy 15 to Silverwood. Trail was clear and dry. Some spots where bushes were close enough to scratch the sides if you’re not paying attention, but still enough room to go to one side or the other and not pin stripe your vehicle towards the end. Fog at the summit but not so thick you couldn’t see. Perfect day to go. After the trail, my family wanted to be picked up off the PCT trail, so I had an opportunity to go the other direction to pick them up where the trails meet at the top. Saw many more vehicles going that way.

Perfect dirt after some light rain.

The trail is fairly easy up to the summit if you come from the exit off of the 15 and do the fire road leading into this. There are quite a bit of large random rocks at times. It also was quite windy so just use your best judgment. I also strongly recommend to air down to make the trail more enjoyable. There are a bunch of offshoots for those of you that want more of a challenge. I stayed on the normal part of the trail just because my truck is my daily. Once you reach the summit the road does change a bit and I can see why it is a level 4. The road starts to narrow a bit with brush which have been trimmed but could be trimmed back more. So be prepared for a little bit of bush scratches along the way. Also the road gets quite steep so I recommend using a low gear to help control your speed. There was one shelf halfway down that was close to 1ft that I had to get out and spot myself to make sure I took the best line. Also a small section after the shelf that had me on 3 wheels for a small second. Have Fun!!!
