Mountain Biking Joshua Ranch Trails

****   Add a review
#284 of 1,004 mountain bike trails in California
#3,762 in the world

I wanted to check it out because it is really close to my house and I used to ride there a lot. Well as I drove up to the gate I noticed that the trail looked open. At the trail head I stopped and looked at my choices of trails to attempt this first ride back into Mountain Biking. I started off on a trail that was a climb to the top of a small hill. From there I rode several trails to a nice overlook of the California Aqueduct and took a really nice single track back to the car.

    Some parts are tacky to muddy when the sun heats up the trails. Still some ruts to be prepared for on the downhill sections. Overall it's diverse trail conditions.
