Trail Overview

This is an easy dirt road following the power lines into Santa Clarita. The trail offers nice views of the surrounding mountains and has many small side roads, mostly leading to powerline pads. It’s fairly well maintained, accessible in dry conditions with a two-wheel drive vehicle, and ideal for a relaxed scenic drive.

Ranger said that we shouldn’t be going past the gate even though the DWP constantly opened it. Gave us verbal warnings and now they are posted signs. Saw him putting them up.

It was good. Trail was pretty smooth. I have a 4x4 but someone else was on the trail in a stock bronco sport and make it through. At the last split I went down (left) instead of up to the electrical tower. It had some deeper trenches from rain but I made it.

This one was pretty easy. Couple of dips from the rain but pretty good. Drive with 2wheel drive.

This trail is not open to motor vehicles and should be removed from the app per USDA maps. I know because I was cited by forest service police.

Honestly, you should air down just so u get more traction and avoid punctures from those loose rocks that fall onto the path from time to time
