Trail Overview
The Sterling Canyon Trail can be accessed from the North by taking the Old Cottonwood Trail for .15 of a mile (GPS Coordinates N34.77932° W118.88355°), or from the South at the Intersection with the street-legal Gold Hill Road (GPS coordinates N34.76662° W118.87774°). The trail is 1.9 miles in length. It is a hard-pack, bumpy trail that is double wide but narrow in a few sections, and a few whoops are scattered along the trail.
Difficulty
This is mostly a level 2 trail but has a few washouts, some small whoops, and gets narrow at some spots, which is why I rated it a 3.
