Mountain Biking Tuley Canyon Switchbacks

A lot of nice hard pack berms, switchbacks, kickers, downhill sections etc. It can be quite steep in some sections as well as have short areas to land after some of the kickers. A lot of variation for multiple skill levels to tackle in a compact area. Trails are very short however, but if you are looking a quick session this is the place to go.

    Its a little sketchy with homeless. There is alot of trash and filth. Its not really a riding area its an open space and no one is supposed to be in there. Motos as they do have torn through but there is no reason to go here unless may to score heroine.

    Could be pretty but ghetto. Trails are just moto head tracks. Lots of trash and homeless.

    Actually not an MTB trail. Dug by a moto head with no clue. Too bad really cause he did a lot of digging but the berms are all off radius and the jumps are over the bars short and steep. Motos and 4x4s rip through here causing devestation and there are homeless people all around. Again too bad cause it could be cool. Also it's a preserve and totally illegal to be there.

    Great short little trail with a lot of variation in a small area. A lot of hardpack berms, switchbacks, kickers etc. Hase some steep decents and 1 pretty gnarly drop. Good for all skill levels in my opinion.
