Description

 

canceled

Easy Level 3 trail. rock rails, sliders required. I'm not taking any stock rigs without sliders or that have stock running boards or with steps. 

Best Times: Spring or Fall, This is a day trip.  Bring a lunch. Smuggler's Cave (aka Elliot Mine) is an easy trail in Jacumba. It can be completed in stock vehicles with 4 wheel drive without risk of body damage. While the trail is not difficult, the end contains a few caves to explore, and some spectacular views.  After that we'll do the Jucumba Loop trail and the going gets tough.
