Description:
[URL="http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/Cleghorn_Ridge_Trail]Dirtopia Cleghorn Ridge Trail[/URL]
Cleghorn Ridge Trail is a combination of two parallel trails, one difficult and the other easy that intersect at several points. Beginning at Silverwood Lake, California Hwy 138 Google Map this trial offers ridge top views over Mount Baldy and ends at I-15 Cajon Pass exit 129 Google Map or back to Hwy 138 again Google Map The difficult trail runs from Silverwood Lake entrance to this intersection, the rest is easy.
The roughly graded route in this trail is suitable for medium clearance 2WD in dry weather. The US Forest Service has designated this trail as 2N47.
There is a separate 4WD trail (marked as X2W47) that runs parallel to the main route and is smaller. This one intersects the main trail often and has a rating of "difficult". The good news is that drivers are able to view the route beforehand and can choose the sections they want to leave out. The start of the trail has an easy rating which gets tougher as you move towards the top of the Cleghorn Ridge.

Pilot Rock Truck Trail is an easy trail as long as you stay on the main portion of the trail but by taking the many side trails along the way you can go from mildly moderate to dangerous. Only experienced offroad drivers should attempt some of the climbs on the side routes since they can become extremely off camber and loose, 2N17X will also intersect 2N33 be aware that this is a very challenging trail and is rated Most Difficult and does deserve the rating.
Bring a lunch, we will be picnicking on the trails
