Trail Overview

This is a great intermediate trail featuring beautiful views of surrounding canyons and chaparral. On clear days you can see a long stretch of the LA Aqueduct to the north. Most of the trail is relatively mild, with some steep climbs, deep ruts, and mud holes adding a bit of challenge. There are numerous trail bypasses with more difficult obstacles that are not sanctioned; please respect the area and stick to the main trail. This trail dead-ends at a locked gate, but you can use Quarry Road 6N19 and Coarse Gold Road 5N24 to make this a through route. To prevent damage, avoid this trail after moderate to heavy rainfall.

Most of this trail is easily drivable. Some sections feature deep ruts and mud, others are significantly eroded and off-camber. High clearance, 4WD, and good tires are strongly recommended. Airing down is not necessary but will make for a more comfortable ride.
