Trails
| Alvin Meadows -- Idyllwild California |
Ride Type: Many different routes -- some loop, some end Pine Cove or Hemet
Distance: Up to 20+ Miles depending on route
Elevation Gain: 3000 feet depending on route taken
Climbing: Moderate steep routes, as well as very steep routes
Alvin Meadows (aka "The Control Roads" by Idyllwild Locals)offers many miles of dirt riding. The road starts with a choice - if you go up right expect an extremely steep road to Pine Cove (nicknamed "The Heavens". If you go straight right you will begin a great ride that can either take you to pine cove or will loop you back to your starting point if you stay to your left when approaching other forks. Or you can go left at the beginning and if you stay to your left you can ride all the way down close to Hemet.
How to get there: Hwy 243 turn on Tollgate Road. Follow Tollgate Road to the end and this is the trail head.
Additional Notes: Beware of off-roading cars, this road is open to vehicles so stay alert. Also summer months keep an eye out for rattlesnakes.
