West Camino Cielo

A nice mountain road which provides views in all directions. Make sure that you are okay with shelf roads before heading this direction because there are some sections which may not appeal to those with a low tolerance for heights. I also think that I would try to complete the trail on a less busy day because traffic could be challenging in some of the narrower sections. The main trail is quite easy, and rates no more than a 2. We completed the trail in a 2025 Ford Ranger, and did not need 4WD. Many of the optional loops are quite difficult and rate 5 and higher.

Some dirt bikes, high clearance recommended

Love the views here definitely worth coming out. Did most of it in 2wd.

Fun time. More rough than normal. Great views.

Awesome experience out here never done this before glad to come out here

First time here with the family, great view of the ocean nice breeze, trails aren’t difficult as I thought they would be, lifted trucks 🛻 recommend.

Beginning from East to West (154 to W Camino Cielo) is pretty easy going with incline majority of the way. Towards the west end, near the radio towers, you start to get rougher small patches of terrain/ rocks to tackle. Nothing too crazy but some high clearance would be beneficial. I drive a 2WD and had 0 issues on this trail.

The trail was a bit dry and had lots of dust as it was very dry. Drove most of the trail on 2-wheel drive. There are a few spots where I did use 4x4 low. Some people have said you can do this trail in a 2-wheel-drive vehicle, but I would not recommend it; you may struggle or get stuck. Do take it easy when driving the trail and do pay attention for other drivers and Dirt bikes. Everyone I ran into had very good trail etiquette, and we were courteous and yielded to each other. It's a fun, mellow trail, but be careful. and try to go with other people.

Lots of nice views, Main trail is great with many offshoots, Be cautious on some of the offshoots as they can be pretty sketchy with a nice drop. Some dirt bikes here and there so be careful on the blind turns. Camino Cielo because each climb on the offshoots takes you in a direct climb to the clouds. Great one night overland spot if youre passing by.

E -> W. In the clouds the 1st third, but then above them. Only saw one woman on an MTB and 2 guys on motorbikes.

Did the fist 5 miles of the west side of the trail. It was pretty easy the bronco sport did good on the trail. Lots of different offshoots you can play on. For the most part stuck to the main trail and it was smooth riding. I recommend this trail stunning views and lots of fun.

no issues, just slow and steady and the GX550 OT+ handled it.

Easy trail unless you decide to challenge yourself on the offshoot trails that come back and loop around to the trail. Most of those are accurate 5/10 difficulty, def want 4x4, clearance, and lockers don't hurt, and that's just for the offshoot challenges. In dry conditions you don't need 4x4, but strongly suggest you have a good set of tires with thicker sidewall, there's some sharp rocks carry a full spare.

Group of 4 of us mobbed up here for the first time. Loved this trail. Some fun puddles from the recent rain. Was very cool having the option to either challenge yourself on the offshoots or skip em. Incredible views.
