Santiago Peak trail run 16 Sept 2017

I started this thread to help people keep track of any possible changes and keep it for possible future informational purposes (i.e. maps, annotated maps, surrounding trails, areas of possible interests, etc) and I will utilize the 2nd post accordingly with that information.

The 1st post (this) will simply just have meet-up time, where, comms used, people attending, etc.

I'm doing this to hopefully keep the clutter down.

Broad overhead view of Santiago Peak and the surrounding area. For those not familiar, notice the 91fwy is just to the north and the 5fwy and 15fwy are west and east, respectively.


Maple Springs Visitor Center (Trailhead - Start)


Trailhead (Start) to Santiago Peak (Stop) - route taken with some map annotation
NOTE: this route is 2wd friendly although there are some areas of loose dirt/rock and fairly good ground clearance, in my humble opinion, is recommended.


From the top of Santiago Peak to Indian Truck Trail to the 15fwy

 

Sup fellas, is there an exit off the 15fwy ?

 

The only one that "I" know of is "Indian Truck Trail". It literally ends/empties into a neighborhood, LOL!!! I wish I could be more helpful? I'll try to annotate a map for you.

 

Great! I'm not to far from that exit. So I can take that trail all the way to the spot?
Will try to make it, lol

 

Dam" gps sends me all he way around the 241fwy! HORSE MANURE LMAO

 

damn. If it wasn't this weekend id be all over this. Ill be out of town. Next time though

 

Here you go. I hope you are able to read the text??? It is definitely 2wd capable, at least when I went on my night solo run. The "dirt" was "hard packed" with lots of ruts in the road.

 

LOL, I NEVER get tired of this trail!!! I was HOOKED on my first run!!! Just a very fun trail, for me at least!!!

I guess you could say that I have sommmmmme knowledge of these trails, at least the ones I put on the maps. I am NO EXPERT though by ANY MEANS!!! I'm only going off of what "I" personally have experienced!!!

 

Wife is out of town this weekend. We are in

 

What is your dog's name?

 

Irie! She's a Chesapeake bay retriever

 

Well hit me up next trail run. Super bummed I can't make it this weekend

 

I will remember to do that!!!

 

@TacomaGuy23 Then next week is San G. You do know about that, correct? Just in case you didn't.

 

Were you able to make out the annotations on the map? I hope it helps a little?

 

How many hours to get to Santiago peak ? And is a spair tire required on this trail?

 

Lol next weekend I'll be at a wedding (assuming it's Saturday)
