Description

Pick up where the Colby Trail ends and use this trail to get up to Glendora Ridge Motorway. It's a steep singletrack that might require you to hike-a-bike a few yards at the start if your granny gear isn't doing the job. At the top of Upper Colby there's a nice view and you can either head west to Azusa Peak or go east and head down Glendora Mountain Road. Watch out for loose dirt on your climbs.

There isn't much shade on this trail, so bring lots of water. Especially if you're coming from Colby Trail.
