North Main Divide - Middle Section to Saddleback

The keyhole to the highest point in Orange County, North Main Divide Trail, is known for its proximity to Central Orange County and amazing views. The trail skirts along the side of the mountains, reaching both peaks of the famous Saddleback Mountain that separates Orange County and Riverside County. While heading up to Modjeska Peak, the trail is mostly rocky, while the second half going up to Santiago Peak is mostly dirt. Santiago Peak reaches a staggering 5,689 feet above sea level, allowing for cooler weather during the summer and snow in the winter. Not only is the nice weather and the fact that it is only minutes from the metropolitan area of Orange County what brings people to this area, but it is also the stunning views and the remote location, plus the great off-road experience, which provides what many say is the perfect combination for an amazing off-road trip.

Did we mention this is probably the best sunset in Orange County...
