Trail Information

Highlights

Indian Truck Trail is a great overland connector route that all off-road enthusiast can travel along. The trail takes you from the Corona area of the I15 to 3S04 - Main Divide Southern from at which point it is only a short 15 minute drive to the peak of Saddleback Mountain. Along the route, the trail provides many stunning views and some of the only forest left on the mountain. Whether it is a evening cruise to watch the sunset or a breakfast 4x4 trip to go to Tom's Farm, you will find yourself at ease on Indian Truck Trail.

Trail is fully open. It is nice and graded. I took it to the saddle thinking I would come down South Main Divide. But due to a small fire at the top of Saddleback, the gate at the top of Indian was open. So I went up to the top. That said, it is nice to access the CNF from the Temescal Valley again.

The trail is open!!! But you still can't get up to the peak. But you can take Main Divide South to Ortega Highway. The other part of main divide is still closed and waiting on the dozer to run the trail.

Indian Truck Trail (5S01), Trabuco/Riverside County, Open (from NFS website). I also called the ranger on Friday and they had reopened that morning. We did Santiago and Modjeska and Sunday and could see traffic on Indian from the top of the mountain. Finally!
