This trail is rated most difficult. This trail starts near the Cedar Springs day use area, near Silverwood Lake, where it forks off from 2N33 Map Pilot Rock Truck Trail, ending back into it again before the Pilot Rock. Map
This trail offers a grand view of the lake right atop the first few hills. Offers a variety of hill climbs, off camber sections and decent descents. The trail can be done in a mid-size 4x4 pickup with A/T's for tires. A full sized truck will run a higher risk of body damage in the tight areas. Lockers are not needed but will help in some areas. Good ground clearance is a must. On most of the numerous climbs there are different skill level paths all rolled into one.
This trail has been adopted by the Victor Valley 4 Wheelers.
See it on Google Earth opening the kmz. file on the right.
