Santiago Peak (Saddleback) 4x4

[@shugyoforyou211]

Great video! I took my KLR650 dual sport up for the 1st time yesterday. I can't believe these guys that pedal up on a mountain bike. Hardcore!

[@mpp32132]

Use to hike even ran up saddleback mountain all the time in my 20s. ..great escape from the stress of the rich

[@4122inc]

One of our favorite local runs!

[@thenotontvshow1928]

Woah! Some steep drops?

[@moe85moe85]

You must have went on a Saturday. That’s pretty much the only day of the week I’m free to hit the trail 😏

[@socaljarhead7670]

I went up last month and the road was fucked up with huge ruts

[@JS_51]

did you make it up? what vehicle were u in?

[@socalrenegal9409]

Did you ever need to lock the diff? I wish I had a map of your trail!

[@JTOHV]

No lockers, even 2WD okay, just need a little ground clearance.

[@steviehernandez158]

How do you get there if you are driving from the 5 fwy going south?

[@JTOHV]

This is the Silverado Canyon/Maple Springs Truck Trail approach traveling West to East.

[@annagitana1]

Get off on the 22 East. Take that to the 55 North. Get off on Chapman East. Go East, for several miles. Once you hit a hill, go up and over that. Pass Newport Ave. Pass Jamboree. Now you’re entering the canyon. You will see the toll road intersecting it. Pass that. (Chapman becomes Santiago Canyon Road- S18). On Santiago Canyon Road, you wind through the canyon for several miles. Then you will find a turn off on the left for Silverado Canyon. You will take that again for several miles until you hit the end of the road where there’s a tiny bit of parking and the entrance to the trail you will ride up. Make sure it’s on a day when the trail is open to vehicles.

[@cobratateking8542]

Can you take a 2500 through there

[@JTOHV]

Should be no problem 🙂

[@cobratateking8542]

@@JTOHV are u serious or joking?

[@JTOHV]

@@cobratateking8542 Seriously joking. But really should be no problem. The main trail is not technical. We sought out some optional areas for added fun, but any truck can do it. 😉

[@ImNoKeR]

How much did you air down your tires

[@JTOHV]

15 PSI. Not necessary, but more comfortable

[@Robertkattt]

You didn’t hit that part that goes straight down near the towers that’s the most intense!,

[@JTOHV]

Not sure where that part is. Will have to go back for another look.

[@mrmustache8735]

@@JTOHV Just drive it off the cliff you'll go straight down

[@fuji4202]

Took my Honda Civic no 4x4 .

[@johnjaco5544]

Too many people from my liking

[@nicolasserrato4188]

Where is the entrance to the trail?

[@Eltortilllero2]

Maple springs trailhead

[@mrmustache8735]

If you go during the week you'll see like 5 people tops. Or else you got to go really early in the morning
