This is some of the best riding around but beware there are BIG cliffs on the sides of the trail. But it is unbelievably beautiful, 360 degree views that over look the ocean and mountains! You have to have a green sticker to ride here as there is occasionally Rangers up there and they will ticket you if you don't have a green sticker, with that said it is completely legal to ride here. You may run into some dirtbikers that would prefer it be a dirtbike only trail but Quads and ATC's are 100% ok to ride there.

There is also an MX track off of the main trail which can be a lot of fun but if you are not a skilled rider I don't recommend trying to get there, there are some pretty gnarly hill climbs.

UTV'S ARE TOO WIDE TO GET AROUND THE GATE AND SO ARE REALLY WIDE QUADS

Here is a website that has directions and pictures:

Here are a couple of videos of me riding there so you can see what the terrain is like:
