Difficulty

Difficult: Steep rock slabs and large boulders. Two obstacles can cause extreme tipping. Lockers, high ground clearance, and excellent articulation are needed. The brush is tight and scratchy. It is not for stock vehicles. Watch for snakes and poison oak. It is very hot in summer.

History

In 2006, most of Corral Canyon was destroyed by the Horse Fire. Today the area is fully open thanks to the efforts of volunteers working with fire rehabilitation funds.

Like the other trails around here lately, rutted with big rocks, deep sand and mud, off camber. Worse than it used to be. Go with buddies and be prepared to winch unless you're on 35s with front and rear lockers and a 3" lift. Would call this an eight now. That said, this is a blast of a trail if you're ready.
