PICS - Holy Jim/Santiago Canyon Trail Meet

There are plenty of spots to make her sweat a little, just don't be afraid to take all the side trails along the way. Be carefull though as some are really technical and today I went on one I shouldn't have been on. I made it back out but was really scared.

 

Awesome good to hear. I will certainly bring the tow strap then.

I am still confused where to pick up this trail. Anyone have specific directions? Also is the trail a loop, or do you need to turn around at the top and come back down?

 

start in Santiago Canyon (end of the road) and follow the trails....turn right on bedford road while on the trail and it will take you down into Corona.

There is also and out if you go left instead of right where bedford road is.

 

How about trails to get to the top of Santiago Peak at which point I would turn around and come back the way a came.

Unfortunately I dont have a trail map in front of me (its on the way) so if you can point of the trails on google maps that would be very helpful. Unless of course they are completely wrong.

 

on google its silverado to maple springs to main divide to indian truck trail

 

Perfect! Thank you. I did purchase a book about these trails so hopefully once that arrives it will clear things up a bit more.

If I just want to go to the top and return on the OC side is there an obvious best stopping point? Would this stopping pt be off Maple Springs or Indian Truck trail?

Does one need a pass to go on these trails? I assume if there is no pass needed you are permitted to stop and eat, take pictures etc in an appropriate area.

Are these trails open on the weekdays?

Thanks again!
