California Santiago Peak

[WestCoastDan]

Anyone familiar with the trails on/around Santiago peak here is SoCal?

I was told by a coworker that this is the closest OHV area to Orange County and a worthwhile trail.
Having recently taken John Bull East, I'm itching to get the TJ dirty again before my wife finally makes me buff out all of the pinstripes that we got.

just please be careful of mountain bikers , I ride here and so do friends and we are often going very fast down the trails . It’s mostly fire road for cars but they intersect with trails so be mindful and happy wheeling

I was up in that area a few weeks ago and it was nice. Didn't go all the way up to Santiago but the views toward the ocean were excellent. Pretty easy to drive, nothing too technical or complicated. I did run across a few careless drivers headed down the hill so be alert and listen for opposing traffic.

The best map I've found on that area is here : https://www.amazon.com/dp/1931494002/?tag=wranglerorg-20

Have fun and let us know how it goes!
