One Way Only: This is designated as a directional trail.
Overview
Tons of white knuckle fun! Very rocky with some exposure, chunky drops, and tire grabbing square edges. A little similar to Simi Valley but with a dash of San Gabriel scrubbery plus ocean views.
Need to Know
Use your bells on this trail!!! Watch out, but maintain a good speed to keep momentum and avoid getting hung up on drops and chunk, but not so fast that you'll nail a headphone-wearing hiker. This trail can be popular on the weekends, especially on Sundays! Don't run over anyone or they'll take away the trail.
This ride warrants a shuttle. Currently, I don't think there's a shuttle service available, so you'll need to arrange for that on your own. You don't need a DH bike to ride this. It wouldn't hurt to have one, but any 4" or 6" and above rig will do.
Description
The trail starts off from East Camino Cielo—look for the boulders by the trailhead and other DH bros prepping for the crazy mission ahead. Full-face and pads recommended, but not necessarily needed—just don't fall!
The trail is obvious to follow, but your line choices not so much. Think fast. Enjoy some shady flow at the start, but that ends fast as rocks start to rattle your teeth. Some areas are tight and dangerous to your lowers.
If you're not feeling it, or all your bearings are starting to come loose, you can eject Tunnel about three-quarters of the way down to connect (on the left) onto
Spyglass Ridge Rd where the trail will be more forgiving. Watch your speed when you get to the fire road at the bottom. There are many hikers along this section, so chill. You'll end your ride at Tunnel Road.
