Trail Overview

Difficulty

Starting from Pamo Rd, the first mile is pretty rutted out with several dry ruts across the trail. This trail could become very difficult during or after rain. Traction is not a problem when dry. All of the up and down hills are mild. Most sections of the trail are a narrow 2-track.About 3 miles from the trailhead, you will be making a sharp turn to the right, almost a U-turn. The trail will continue to the left. But, if you want to stay on Orosco Ridge, take the trail to the hard right. Picture of the turn included below.

Trail is open but further down near Guaijito trail, the gate is closed. So at that loint you turn around. Nice trail. Easy. Good with family.

Nice morning ride, heat started coming up. The trail was in good shape, some rutts and possible pinstriping.

Open and 100% dried out after the rain. Big rain ruts so be careful if you’re on a bike.

Open but a bit rough, small but annoying ruts from the rain. Had a blast though, didn’t see anyone else.

Nice, easy trail. A little bit rutted from recent rains but nothing even a slightly lifted vehicle couldn’t manage. We did the whole route in 2WD.

Nice cruise along the hill tops this morning. Only passed two other groups on a late Saturday morning.
