From the I5 exit Leucadia Blvd, head east about 4 miles, right on Camino Junipero, then left on Corte Romero and park.
Woops the rain made it super muddy and rutty in many parts, good incentive to wash your bike after the ride!
| Thank | EditStarts with rocks eight off the bat. For the most part the straight aways are smoother than the switch backs wich only adds technical twist. The rains have created some ruts and washed out the dirt away from the rocks. There are Great views all aroud. The uphill is some hard work but well wort it once you get to the top.

| Thank | EditI like this trail for being so close to my home. I rode Switchbacks 24hrs after the rain and to my surprise lots of dirt got washed away making it to an extremely rocky ride and even more technical then usual.
| Thank | EditBegins steep and rocky right off the street and continues that way until you ride back onto the street. Trail will give you a workout as it is technical almost the entire route (which ever way you ride). Great views at the top and the DH ride is reward enough for your climb. If you are looking for a burly ride in the San Diego area, this one will do.
| Thank | EditThis is a pretty fun little network of trails. Some fun rock garden areas and banked turns. The locals do a good job of maintaining everything. This can be linked to Elfin Forest and some other trails in the area for longer rides.
| Thank | EditA great quick ride located in the heart of coastal north county San Diego. A linked system of single track. There are some more advanced sections (jumps, downhills, drop offs, etc...). Great spot for a quick ride after work.
