Description [Suggest Changes]

This is a fun downhill singletrack. It can get dusty and loose here depending on the time of year. There are a couple of steep sections that keep you on your toes. Count the number of rusty old abandoned trucks you find in the canyons on the way down.

Watch out for this right turn. I always come in with too much speed, see it at the last second and miss it.

Trail is trashed. The decent is way to rocky for how steep it is. Not mention it is severally washed out as well on the steep descent. Towards the bottom the trail is completly obscured by land slides. Had to carry my bike over these portions. In need of some serious TLC. Anyone down to revive this could be b.a. trail? Dec 7, 2017

Trail is CLOSED, due to recent fire. DO NOT DROP IN. No markings from Verdugo that canyon is CLOSED. If you are lucky enough to make it to the bottom in one piece. It is gnarly, many many slides that make the trail unrideable. You will have to HAB down or back up. The bottom is gated at La Tuna Canyon Rd and you will be blocked in. Jan 5, 2018

Lots of stream crossings on the way up Gabrielino Trail. It's a challenge not to fall in at least once!
