These were taken after I had the truck for about 3 weeks and was my first trip "off road". Nothing that impressive, but fun none the less...
Here's the turn off:
It's a nice, clear day, about 102* outside. See that road up on the hillside on the right? That goes to Cucamonga Canyon Day Use Area, which I've mountain biked to. I have to ask the ranger for that park if there's anyway to get a permit to drive back there, it would be a lot of fun.
Up, up we go. I wish I could remember the name of that mountain. The road goes on like this for a coule miles. I'll take some "action" shots on the way back down...
Now here we are almost at the end, and this idiot has parked RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAIL! This road ends at a path down to a swimming hole, and there's plenty of places to park off the trail. I'm half tempted to tip his truck down into the canyon, but it's too hot and I'm feeling nice, so I park and get out to walk the rest. It could use some scouting, any ways.
Hmm, I bet I can straddle this. It's narrow, but I don't know if I have the clearance to drop one tire down on the left.
Here's the end. You could try to drive around this, but the last place to turn around is right behind where I'm taking this picture, and there's no way in hell I could back up around this when you consider...
...the drop if you mess up. That's the bottom of Cucamonga canyon, and the swimming hole I was talking about. I can see the dude down there that's parked in the middle of the trail. He's under the big waterfall at the top.
