Trail Overview

This trail is mainly dirt road with some sand in areas and some off camber turns with slight hills. In Spring and Summer, the trails are mainly dry and possible in 2WD. There are forks in the trail with break offs for ATVs and Dirtbikes, so be aware of sections where the trails connect. Cell service is good with reception throughout the trail. There are also gas stations near each entrance and exit of the trail.

Very cool Trail for 4x4 vehicles, however be cautious of the rating! One of the entry areas is closed due to construction. You can enter through other spots. Super Rocky with small to medium size rocks. Heavy atv/bikes traffic as well. There is a big washout which you can go around by going off trail just careful of getting stuck on the sand when turning! There are very steep areas that you can flip over as a can-am did so in front of us. There is potential of falling down the mountain if you aren’t careful. Honestly the rating in the description does not match the trail. This is comparing to other trails within the app. You can go from point A to point B as long as you have a 4x4 vehicle. Overall this trail is an adrenaline rush which we recommend!!!

Can’t enter from I-15, have to use Baldy Mesa road from Cajon junction and cut 1/5 of the trail, or just go from 138 HWY. There is some big washouts up to 3ft, rocks, in the screenshot you could see where the biggest like 10-12ft deep washout is, there is a road to go around it with pretty steep hill, while going up that hill to get back on the track I got stuck, so either go to check before climbing it or really floor it.

The road is completely washed out. Couldn't pass with a dirt bike. Extremely dangerous for riders and vehicles who are riding/driving fast through here.
