Mountain Biking Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park

****   Add a review
#8 of 1,004 mountain bike trails in California
#173 in the world

Aliso Canyon is network of grueling climbs followed by intense, white knuckle downhill sections, with some flatter sections of singletrack peppered in here and there. Most of the DH sections are doubletrack or fire rode width and get pretty gnarly with some cruel ledges and seriously rigid terrain, especially the "Car Wreck" section. After each of the DH runs, you usually have a short fire road connector trail to, you guessed it, a couple miles of steep climbing, so bring an extra lung in your camelbak. The singletrack deep in the canyon is nice and plush but not very technical.

Rider questions

Q: I would appriciate a fast respose, i am going on this trial tomorrow and I was wondering a beginner friendly trial there. I am slightly expirienced but I am taking my brother with me and he has 0 expirience on trials and I would like to go on an easy going down hill trial.
A: First off, the trails to avoid then, Car Wreck and Mentally Sensitive are not beginner trails. Also, Cholla is generally regarded as a climbing trail. If you descend it (especially on a busy weekend), expect to upset a lot of people (not just MTBers). Lynx and Rock-it are also probably above beginner, probably intermediate. Head over to Meadows, its a local favorite.

Q: Is there any jumps
