A friend of mine introduced me to this trail a few months ago. Boy did the climb kick my butt, and that's exactly what I'm looking for! The trail is in perfect shape!! I've seen a few bad reviews, but for people reading them...please notice the DATES! Not sure if it's been redone, but I have nothing to complain about! I went again yesterday with my dog, on leash, and it was a blast!! Traffic was very minimum, and those that were there were all friendly!

Doesn't matter what other trails I ride, Turnbull kicks me in the ass every time. 1.5 mile climb but the best part is coming down there are a number of ways back. Wide fire road is the main trail, but there are a number of singletracks and switchbacks to come back down

Turnbull is my home trail. Turnbull is one of the best-hidden gems of Southern California. I start my rides off at the end of Beverly (caution – a lot of break ins happen to cars parked there at dusk time) better to park you ride down the street in front of houses and ride up the paved road to the trail head. Take the fire road up to the top and you have a multitude of some great down hill drops coming off the hill side or ride further up to the top of the towers where there is an abandoned Air Force missile defense command base up there. Hard dirt, gravel, rock, switch backs, jumps, fast wide trails great views and awesome ocean winds to help cool you down. Turnbull just keeps us coming back, you either love it or not. 95% of the riders are really cool and more than willing to help out. Down Town Whittier has some great places to eat after your ride; and if your bike is in need of help make sure you stop by G’s Cyclery & Wheels at 6713 Greenleaf Ave, ask for G. Grab a meal while he fixes your bike. To all of you on the trail that supported me alone my way, thank you. Being a diabetic and trying to pursue a dream of still hitting the trails feels great with support. JDT
Similar Trail: None, its a ride of its own.

This is my home trail, I usually like to start at the top, go over the hill and do the 7th St. loop, then up to the water tower, jam down and hit A-Side or Rattlesnake. Ridgeline is a fast one too, fun stuff. Watch out for hikers, cactus and rattlesnakes.

Fireroad great for beginners. Can ride level, up, or down, your choice. Lots of places to explore and nice canyon. Traffic is light - not many bikers and hikers.

Similar Trail: Cerro park Palos Verdes. Currently not open because silly old people run the city counsel. Open back in February with restricted trails :(

One of the best hidden gems for xc riding in Southern California. Great single tracks that can be enjoyed by all levels of riders.
Similar Trail: Marshall Canyon, Fullerton Loop, and Carbon Canyon.
