Description: The terrain here is typical SoCal, with chaparral predominating, interspersed with smaller areas of riparian woodlands and open grasslands. The riding generally consists of steep fire roads, though a beautiful segment of the Backbone Trail as well as the beginner- oriented Charmlee Park add variety. Strong intermediate and advanced riders will love the Zuma-Backbone loop - moderately technical single-track interspersed with grinding fire road uphills and fast descents. Beginners should head to Charmlee Park off Encinal Canyon Road, which offers an array of easy fire roads through beautiful meadows. |
