3S04 Main Divide to Santiago Peak

Trail Overview

The Main Divide is composed of 3 sections, all of which are easy going trails that can be done with any high clearance 4x4 or a low clearance AWD vehicle with care. This trail offers some of the most amazing views of the Temescal Valley below and Los Angeles beyond. On a clear day you can see all the way to the ocean, and sometimes even glimpse Catalina Island. Pack some lunch and hit the trails before sunset to catch one of the best views you'll ever see. The road to Santiago Peak within the radio tower should not be attempted in a low-clearance vehicle due to the deep ruts and rocky surfaces that can do damage to cars.
