You can either bike allll the way up the mountain (exhausting!), or you can take the ski lifts halfway up. This is one of the most grueling trails in all of Southern California. Look at the elevation profile!

Explored Big Dalton Canyon area today.

Today was a good riding day. Went up to Big Dalton canyon area and explored Big Dalton road and the nature trails surrounding it. Then I explored the lower realms of Monroe truck trail. Too much poison oak for my unprotected legs. Then I meandered up Glendora mountain road for about 5 miles. Found the cardiff cutoff trail and down I went. It was maintained fairly well for the side of the mountain switchback type single track. The bad part about it, is that they did not have an adequate trail head at the bottom.
