“Easy at the bottom, this sun-exposed ridge trail gets REALLY steep up to Native Oak Trail.”

This trail sucks. Hardpack with so many ruts you can't can't traction for the climb. Expect to be hiking your bike about 1/2 the distance. The trail is packed with hikers so don't expect a fun ride on the way down. Jul 17, 2015

It's actually not so bad.... the climb is a lung buster for sure, but rideable from bottom to top and top to bottom. Aug 11, 2017

Shaded by trees and the north facing slope, this trail is like being in Lord of the Rings.

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