Trail Overview

Santa Rosa Truck Trail is an out-and-back well-maintained fire road that climbs to over 8000ft. The lower parts are smooth and wide enough for two vehicles to pass each other. As it rises in elevation the road gets a bit narrower in spots and there are a few sections with small embedded rocks. The scenery is beautiful with some epic views of Palm Springs below. Various campgrounds at higher elevations have picnic tables and fire rings. There is a gate before the Toro Peak

Status Reports

Very scenic route with views of Palm Springs and the Saltin Sea and some areas both are visible from the same spot. The climb up averages about 290ft per mile and took about an hour each way with a short stop or two along the way. Best spot to air up/down is right when you turn off the highway before going through the gate.
