You wouldn't happen to have some GPS points for the western part of this run... start point to temescal. I would like to get up there, but all this closed gate nonsense would be quite frustrating after driving all that way.

I know main divide well from the 74 side... but have never tried to get up on main divide from the west.

are there any offshoots worth playing on?

 

James if you look so cal trails and waypoints, Woods has some GPS coordinates.

 

Nice pics, looks like a pretty cool trail.

 

The trail head points are a good start, but its the turns in route that concern me. I don't trust google maps to be accurate. Plus I don't know where the gates are on the west side. We can always just figure it out though...

 

OMG!! I just popped in here for a second and rangleme is OFFLINE. I have never seen that before.

 

no must have been a glitch in the system i see she is right here with us!

 

I do not have them, but your first major fork in the road to head up to the towers if you go to the left you will head off to Temescal, there is another fork off that trail for skyline, but you do not want that look for the trail marked Bedford once you hit that your clear sailing. Google earth is useless unless you have it on your phone, and your phone gets reception. I printed maps out, but then realised the trails were not marked ont he printed copies only on the site. If you use a print screen option, you may get what your are looking for.

 

I saw Sunday=rain on the news this morning... which might mean closures.


Were there gates (that could be closed) on the route you took?

 

OMG!! Peace out!

 

See if this works for ya

The name of the apostle and patron of the Spains, Santiago (Saint James) was frequently used in Spanish times for place names. Santiago and Modjeska combined, is known locally as "Saddleback".
