Trail was open, though a few spots were showing signs of washing out from the recent storm and it was a bit concerning. Very narrow in some spots, once you pass the launching area for the hang gliders the brush can be very heavy leading to serious pinstriping. All in all we really enjoyed this trail and the beautiful views it offered.

Went up for sunset and to check out the city lights. Was well worth it and timed perfectly! The hang glider people are nucking futs.

A shelf road with great views the whole way pretty much. This would be a great night trail for the views. Plenty of places to pull of and admire the sprawl. Did a few of the off shoots, fun. Good times.

Very fun and easy trail in my 2021 Cherokee Trailhawk. 4wd with decent clearance or rwd pickup should make it no problems. Some offshoots will require 4 low if you feel like playing. I took one offshoot in 4 low with locked diff and hill descent and the car handled it no problem. The only concern was unavoidable pinstriping due to overgrown vegetation. I don't mind but if you want to keep your paint pristine this is not the trail for you. If you don't mind the vegetation, this is a fun trail for daily drivers or more built rigs.

Fun trail. Only did half of it. No obstacles. Met some paradliders. It’s nice to see that it was open.

Easy serene trail. Can be done in 2wd, make note of areas where there is space as the trail is big enough for only one car, so someone will have to backup to an area to let another car pass if two are headed in opposite directions. Been there a couple times sometimes there are hand gliders other times its just you and the sound of birds.

This was a great early evening run, 2wd all the way. Towards the top there was quite a bit of unavoidable pinstriping, there were quite a few paragliders out as we were working our way up the trail and we stopped to watch them for quite a while. The trail is extremely narrow with long sections that do not provide enough space for two vehicles to get by and steep drop off’s, so pay attention!

Fun trail on the way down from Arrowhead/Crestline on the 18. No obstacles, maybe some pinstriping opportunities here and there, though in dry conditions, can be tackled with an open-differential 2wd with ease. 4wd TTB Bronco ii, never switched out of 2wd and did not need to air down, even with semi-wet conditions. Great views of Loma Linda and San Bernardino and Redlands and a great chance to hang out and watch paragliders take off and land.

Great trail. Easy enough for beginners like me. However, towards the end pin striping was unavoidable as the vegetation on the sides were a bit overgrown.

Clear day showed great views along the trail. Definitely can run stock 4x4s on this. Tried to do one of the challenging hills, but got stuck (3 inch, 31s TJ) could probably have stacked rocks but instead just backed down...wee bit more clearance could easily do it. Seems a bit more steep than last reported. For sure a favorite.

This has to be on my top favorite trails to hit on a weekend just to get away from the city! The views are amazing and the trail itself has so many terrain changes that it keeps you entertained. We ran it on a Sunday and encountered only 1 other car running the trail in the opposite direction ( We ran the trail as intended from South to North ). Any stock 4x4 can do this trail with ease, cars should be able too as well but there are some hill climbs, rocky portions and rutted out sections that can give it a little bit of difficulty. The rain has definitely given the trail a good growth so definitely expect pin striping but all in all an awesome trail

Trail is easy no need for 4wd really unless you stop on an incline where there is alot of gravel/loose rocks the optional hill climb is really steep I bypassed it as I was alone and today winds are up to 15mph... the rain didn't wash out or damage the trail but did make it to be over grown with bushes so expect to get trail rash from them....

Took this trail today with my buddy for the first time. I drove my 2000 Toyota Tacoma 2WD TRD. My buddy drove his 2000 Subaru Imprezza which is raised up on AT tires. We had no problems at all and we enjoyed our ride. The trail is very rough in the sense that you are mainly driving on rock ground with loose rocks. In the spots that there was dirt, we enjoyed some of the softer ground and mud puddles that had built up. Overall it was a fun and easy trail for my first trail I found on this site. I look forward to trying some of the other trails from this site and reporting my experience.

Absolutely beautiful view. I went a day after it rained and took my dogs, it wasn’t bad at all. Up so high we were in the clouds. There were some off trails that I didn’t try bc I was by myself and had my dogs, but some were definitely for advanced off roaders. If you stayed on the path it was easy and maintained. I’ve been to cleghorn 3 times and now I found this. Will go again for sure!
