Description

Ride 2 miles up Sidewinder Road from the Sidewinder/Witches Canyon Parking Lot. Turn right and go through the wooden fence onto Jacarilla Trail. The trail is an old 2 track that has been converted to singletrack.

Jacarilla starts in a large open area and follows a drainage as it steadily climbs to the north. At 0.6 miles, Rattler Trail will intersect with Jacarilla from the west. Jacarilla continues north and gets steep and rocky before it meets up with the Wild Horse Trail.
