__ (Adventure Pass required for parking) ^^

This ride takes in parts of three excellent single tracks: The Espinosa Trail, The Spur Meadow Trail and the Kernan Cycle Trail, resulting in challenging uphills and some very fast and fun downhill.

Directions

Take Interstate 8 east to Buckman Springs Road (past Pine Valley) and turn right (south).  Drive 3.3 miles and turn right on Corral Canyon Road (it is a dirt road 3/10 mile past the Ranger Station with a small sign for Camp Morena on a rock pile).  Drive 3.6 miles and park at the Kernan Cycle Trail crossing (no sign just look for cars parked on left, after you cross a concrete bridge, before you start the climb to the top).
