LIMITED RE-OPENING OF LOS PENASQUITOS!

Ranger Washington has just confirmed that the NORTH SIDE of Los Penasquitos, except for Cobblestone Trail, is OPEN for all users, as of now. This means that the entire North Trail from Canyonside to the construction on the west end and including Bridges Trail singletrack, is open. Telephone Pole/Powerline, Sidehill singletrack and Little Waimea singletrack are open.

Cobblestone remains closed because of ongoing repairs to a large washout at the base of a horse/hike trail at the bottom of The Sh1ts. The Rangers don’t want to open the bike/hike side until the equestrian trail is repaired, likely next weekend. The entire “south side” and all the stream crossings are still closed, pending some major grading and etc… due to washouts and whatnot.

Go check it out! The canyons are green, the singletracks are nearly overgrown and the rain ruts aren’t that bad! Skip Cobblestone and The Sh1ts for now, but ride the hell out of the DMM singletracks before they get bulldozed (that's coming, soon).

Update:

...from the Rangers:

We have repaired the big washout at the base of the Queens trail.
Cobbles/Queens trail is now open to all users. Please exercise caution,
there are a few changes to the trail because of the immense amount of
water flowing through the area. Have fun and be safe.

The official trails on Carmel Mountain are now open as well. This does
not include any of the trails that were fenced off in February, that is
a permanent closure. If you see the fences knocked down, perhaps you
could take a moment to put them back up and let the Rangers know. We
are making regular patrols, but with the help of everyone it will work
better. Thank you, have fun and be safe.
