San Timoteo Canyon - Carriage Trail

Sun, 12/31/2017 - 13:15

This is probably my favorite trail I have ridden in California thus far. It's a basic trail for the most part but, it is a very scenic trail. One very nice feature is the upper trail because it hugs the inside of the canyon up about 20 feet above the main trail. This upper trail allows for a rolling ride with a panoramic view of some beautiful orchards, , occasional snow packed peaks, some attractive hillside houses and and a lazy winding train-track. About half-way through the trail there is a lookout spot. It's a bit of a push to get to the top but, it's well worth it. And of course the ride down afterwards is very fun but, a bit risky and not for the faint of heart.

When I first moved to Redland's this was my first trail. I rode it every Saturday for two years and I still miss it.
