Monument Peak – Silverwood Lake

Very Challenging off-road ride in the direction from the Cajon Pass exiting on Palm Avenue and following Palm Cnyn Rd up and over the mountains to Silverwood Lake. Be prepared for long steep sections and find a way to get in rhythm with a two hundred yard series of steps as you approach the top. It might be best to scout this ride in the reverse direction first. You are rewarded with great views of the Cajon Pass on one side and Silverwood Lake on the other. There is a fascinating old monument at the junction of 2N49 and 2N43. Stop and checkout this piece of history and BMWMoR POI.

Important Note About The Routes:

We have made our best efforts to supply informative routes. PLEASE USE YOUR DISCRETION and JUDGEMENT. Conditions change rapidly and can vary significantly for each ride due to weather, fire, daylight/time of year, road construction, and many other variables. There is no substitute for your personal judgement. Only you know your capabilities, physical condition on the day of the ride, and the preparation, condition, and capability of your motorcycle.

For these reasons, BMW MoR always “pre-rides” a given route for our shop rides even if we have done that ride many times before. The very definition of Adventure riding involves managing your body (physical and emotional) and your motorcycles mechanical condition while enjoying the adventure. Be prepared and make good decisions on whether to turn around or skip sections of rides as conditions warrant.

Use these tracks and routes as a planning tool to add or subtract or modify to your suit your time, abilities, and environmental conditions.
