Trail Description:
Sycamore Canyon has some really excellent cross country riding, and a few freeride areas, too. For the XC riders, there are several fun climbs, sometimes a little technical, with speedy singletrack descents, and a couple water crossings.

The freeride challenges are mostly at the southeast corner of the park, hidden away a bit. There is a teeter totter, numerous jumps, and some drops that are at least 15 feet. A section of exposed rock known to local riders as "mini-Moab" provides some fun riding, too. It's pretty easy to put together a 10-15 mile ride without repeating yourself much.

How to get there:
From CA60/I-215 Take Cantral Avenue exit down the hill, and one trailhead is on the left just after Lochmoor. Others are available off of Canyon Crest, Alessandro, and Via Mindi.
