Pinyon Ridge Truck Trail 7

Trail Overview

This is a mellow trail along Pinyon Ridge, which is just west of Vincent Gap and Blue Ridge. The trail itself is mellow and surrounded by - you guessed it - single-leaf/needle Pinyon pine trees, which are the namesake of the ridge and native to only the Western United States. There are no less than three pullout areas for dispersed camping. Once you reach the end of the road, enjoy the view of the Antelope Valley and the mountain ranges that flank it, such as the San Gabriels, the Sierra Pelonas, and the Tehachapis.

Difficulty

This trail itself is mellow and the terrain isn't challenging, but the trails that connect to it certainly are. Adventurers should only approach the area trails in a 4x4.

This trail is what we like to call Smurfville. We used to bring our kids here to Geocache. We call it Smurfville because there are lots of very short pine trees. It’s a great place to hit as part or your trail ride.
