This is a fun local ride that can be done in 5-6 hours with a good pace. Most of the time it is an intermediate level ride, but it can be quite difficult with wet conditions and the route can be impassable due to snow in the winter. Epic views looking down on Silverwood Lake.
There are many inviting off-shoots on this route. BE VERY CAREFUL!! The parts of the trails you can see look inviting, but most devolve into very difficult and sometimes impassable routes for a large Adventure bike. Exploring these routes almost always ends badly. Take a skinny dirt bike if you wish to do that.
Many choices for routes home, but my favorite is to take 138 to Highway 18 and drop out of the high elevation through a fast set of twisties. A great alternate dirt route home can be had by linking in Monument Pass (Palm Cnyn Road). Going down Palm Cnyn toward the Cajon Pass (I-15) is a much easier direction to ride than climbing up and through all the “steps.”
