Ride this trail counter clockwise to get the most out of it and to take advantage of the series of tables below the radio towers. This trail is on Kershaw-Ryan State Park property--though you can access it from Spring Street, please consider going into the park and throwing a few bucks their way.

This is a sweet ride with sweeping views and flowy singletrack. Catching the desert golden hour up here will impress even the most seasoned traveler. Welcome to Caliente.

Used also for the Broken Record 3/6 Hr Course.

Access Info

Either climb up Spring Street (turns to dirt after the cattleguard and renames to Ella Mountain Road), or go into the State Park and start from the bottom of the canyon.
