North Main Divide Trail, lake Elsinore CA

i was thinking of hitting this trail up and was wondering if anyone has been on it? I'm new to riding trails and wanted to try it out.

 

I have and it's fun,worth the experience!2wd drive friendly(if your 2wd)!I'll eventually be doing it again from time to time!

 

Cool thanks. Mine is a 2WD so that's good.

 

I haven't done it, but I've been exploring SoCal trails so I'd love to hear about it!

 

Its a great ride. A lot of bumps and some challenges. I would defintely go again

 

Here are 2 of the pictures.

 

Indian truck trail is fun too if you haven't done that one. It's a pretty good drive to the top of saddleback. It will take a couple hours to get to the top and back.

 

I believe it connects because on the way out I took the Indian trail. I thought it was like a one way trail.

 

Did you go all the way to the antennas on top of saddleback? There's a t in the road

 

Ohh looks great!! I might have to check this out!

Has anyone done Rattle Snake Canyon Trail? http://www.rattlesnakecanyontrail.com I'm thinking of doing one night in Joshua Tree, then driving the trail up to big bear, one night there, and then back home.

 

Do any of you know if the Indian truck trail is open at night? Wanted to test out my lights

 

Pretty sure it is. There was a meetup that went up it at night a month ago.

 

easy trail 2wd friendly

 

Yup. Anyone interested in going this weekend? I was thinking about going this weekend.

 

I was thinking of maybe going up through the Maple Springs gate if it's open. I have never explored any of the trails in and around that area. Where do you enter the North Main Divide trail at?

 

Let me look it up on google maps. I come from 15 north. But i forgot what exit. I will look it up when i get home.

 

Just drove this trail with my wife. Not hard at all but very fun to get up that high. We entered from Silverado Canyon and exited by some homes off the 15. Hilarious popping out of the hills and riding next to guys in golf carts to exit the trail.

 

Is the silverado entrance the same as Maple Springs? Is the trail system self explanatory or do I need a map?

 

Pretty much self explanatory. If you have a gps system, the trail should be on there. I used it as it was my first time on the trail. Love the scenery.

 

Yes that's the same entrance. The route is basically up and if you just keep following the main trail up you will land in an open area. To the west there is trail that goes towards the towers. We didn't go that way but from what I understand it just ends there. If you go east (left) towards Corona the trail leads down. We just stayed on the main trail and headed down and we got out fine.
