Description

I'm taking my Son to Cleghorn if anyone wants to join us.

Meet at 8:30 am Cleghorn Trail head OFF 138! The 15 gate is closed.

We are doing all the challenging trails, They are off camber, tippy with some large rocks, rock sliders are a must. Jeeps will be fine. There are some bypasses. We are also doing 2n17x, if you feel comfortable with the gate keeper you should be able to navigate the rest of the trail.

If you have rock sliders and swaybar disconnects you can do this trail no problem, you can make it without lockers too.

Best Time: Spring or Fall This is a day trip. Bring lunch

Guide Book: BackCountry Adventures Southern California, 2002 edition, SC10 and

The plan is to do Cleghorn in the morning then 2N17X(D) and Pilot Rock Road(M) in the afternoon.

We should be at the trail head by 0800.
