Trail Overview

This is a loop route that circles the peak of Alamo Mountain, providing amazing scenic views of the surrounding Sespe Wilderness. It is open to both street-legal vehicles and OHVs with a valid green sticker. The trail is single-vehicle wide and consists primarily of packed dirt with shallow erosion ruts, embedded rocks, and small rock ledges. In stretches, the route becomes a shelf road with a steep drop-off on one side. There is a primitive campground with a vault toilet (but no other amenities) near the halfway point. Upper trailheads of several 4x4 and dirt bike trails are accessible from this route or nearby spurs. Weak to no cellular phone service in the area. The trail is closed annually from 11/2 to 4/30. Tread Lightly and Pack-It-Out.
