New Off roaders/members are especially encouraged to participate. Wildomar OHV offers a variety of challenges form mild to wild and is a good place to practice your off-roading driving skills/ techniques or just goof around.

Time & Distances:
Indian Truck Trail (5S01) to Santiago Peak: 12+ miles roughly / 2+ hours with a couple of stops including lunch.
Santiago Peak to Main Divide (3S04) & Wildomar OHV: 20+ miles roughly / 3+ hours including stops.

Indian Truck Trail (5S01) to Santiago Peak
This trail (5S01) is reachable by taking the Indian Truck Trail exit off the 15 about ~ 9 miles North of Lake Elsinore. The 12 miles ascent will take us through some beautiful forested areas and offers outstanding views as we make our way to Santiago Peak at 5400’. After lunch we will head back down the same we came but this time take the Main Divide Rd (3S04) down about 6 miles SE of the Peak.

Wildomar OHV
The Main Divide Rd (3S04) descent will give us a glimpse of Trabuco Peak and we make our way down the hill through the forest. After ~ 10 miles we will come to the Ortega Hwy on the way down North of Lake Elisnore. We will follow the Hwy to the intersection with Killen Road and turn left at the dirt Y and follow the road south for approx. 9 miles to the Wildomar OHV area. The OHV area features a variety of different trails and terrain so we will play it by ear after checking trail conditions. We may elect to break off into small groups after a general overview / run around the main area. The trails are short and tight in places so some pinstriping may occur.
