Please help I used to ride motorcycles on Ortega highway. Is that the way to come in? Because when I put in coordinates in my GPS. It's making me take the trail the opposite way your showing. I'm confused how to start where you're starting

Take Ortega Highway 74 out of Lake Elsinore up to the summit, turn right on El Cariso road which quickly turns into North Main Divide. You'll drive a few miles on pavement before you see the gate for the trail. maps.app.goo.gl/ARCCYkzcp6Xsabm68

I am tempted to do one of these easier kinds of trails with my car, a Mitsubishi Mirage. Although it's not an off road ready car with it's tiny tires, and 2 wheel drive, it is also a tiny car, I can fit between most ruts, and easily can turn around on those skinny trails if I want.

There is an actual tall EAGLE PEAK spire (3226') right there in amongst and towering above all those conjoining creeks & waterfalls feeding the upper San Diego River... it is right in the middle of the always-green San Diego River Valley bed up there (below & west of the Cuyamaca Peaks)... I'd like to climb it some day - there is a trail.

Do you think a Crosstrek could handle this? I'm thinking about checking out the warm springs spot and I'm interested in driving to save some time and effort. Have you or anyone else driven this recently? I'm curious about whether it got washed out by the recents storms over the past two years.
@subietrails2750Ай бұрын
I'm sure you could make it in your car. Just make sure to bring another person or 2 to help if you run into any big ruts. You'd be surprised what you can do with a shovel and some scrap wood.

Pretty cool design but “do it yourself”? Yes, if you have a tablesaw that cuts metal, a jigsaw that cuts metal and numerous other tools. So I will end up spending $600 on tools to make a bike rack that I should’ve just bought a $49 back bike rack at target? Wow.

Check conditions before you go! I tried it an SUV several years ago and the road was so bad near the west end that I popped a sidewall. Further along was impassable even by a 4 wheel drive towtruck. Walked out to where a friend could meet me. A real nightmare and expensive to recover the car. Glad to see that the conditions are better than when I attempted.

I lived up there for almost 10 years pretty close to where the pavement ends. It still gives me the spooks to this day because me and my girlfriend were sleeping comfortable in our yurt when we heard a gunshot. Later we found out that was Nicolas Markowitz being murdered by lizards mouth. There are sketchy people up there at times. We lived on a beautiful piece of land but our landlord was a lifelong criminal.

@@mariodelsolar definitely try 6440 W. Camino Cielo. I think it's still called Tanbark oaks. It is a beautiful piece of land and I have heard that it has gotten better up there as compared to the days that I was up there. The landlord died but I believe his sister owns it but I don't know her name because it's a different last name. Much closer to Highway 154 is a bulletin board next to all of the mailboxes. I think it says Hear Ye. That is a good place to post if you are looking for a place to rent up there. There are some super cool people up there and it is truly an amazing place with weather that is entirely different than down near the coast. Don't move up there if you don't like gnarly winters and gnarly winds and rains. And in the summer extremely hot and lots of bugs. It's wild up there!

@@FredSHerr if you google “west Camino Cielo” it will tell you the trail status. I actually talked to a forest service member when I tried going up there a couple weeks ago. He was saying it should be open late this month or early to mid June :) safe travels if you do go, I hope it opens up sooner rather than later. P.S. - if you’re worried about the trail being technical, it’s a pretty easy one. Very beautiful with minimal need for 4x4. There are a couple pull outs where you can use 4x for fun though!!

Hi, Thank you so much for posting these videos. They are very helpful and much appreciated. Could you please provide information on how you were able to get to Quill Canyon from North of the canyon. I was able to get there going North on 6619. When I tried going in from the North the trail was extremely difficult with very high inclines and boulders that prevented me from advancing. The trail that you used was in very good condition and not challenging at all. Thanks again for doing all the great videos. Take care.

There is no trail that comes into that canyon from the north. There's only one trail going in from the south and ending at the highpoint. I came in from the south but didn't film the drive up to the top of the canyon, only the drive back down. I think that trail changes all the time with every rain, it wasn't so bad when I took it. I do remember having to get out and to a little road maintenance on the way in though.
