Trail Overview

Bailey Canyon is a scenic trail running through the San Bernardino National Forest. There are views of Silverwood Lake, canyons full of trees, and the city near the south end of the trail. The trail is mainly dirt but turns to rock in some areas. Creek crossings are also possible at certain times of the year. This trail can be relatively easy but may be challenging during or just after the wet seasons. There are sections with deep ruts, downed trees, and rocks that came down from the hillside next to the trail. There are also overgrown bushes and trees that cover the majority of the trail areas and will cause pinstriping. There are no bypasses so scratches to vehicles are unavoidable. Cell service is patchy, mainly in the middle of the trail, so downloading maps ahead of time is recommended.

Slight snow in shady areas. Absolutely beautiful on a motorcycle. Could do it on any big adventure bike easily.

First quarter of the trail is fine road, later on there is a lot of rocks, so have a good XT or mud tires and AWD or 4x4 only. There was some mildly steep hills and deteriorated terrain, so if you going with some similar car as I did, have a spotter or be careful, didn’t took pics of those places unfortunately
