“ "Life is like a box of cherries" as the saying goes. While we didn't do the intended Los Pinos trail we did do the San Juan. As usual it was awesome. Parking lots at both ends were packed with cars but because the trail is quite long it didn't seem crowded. As mentioned by Chris G you are supposed to get permission with 24 hour notice to cross the private land at the end of the Los Pinos trail. I'm not sure what you do if you arrive there without permission as it would be impossible to go back? Anyway we shall do it another day and, ah shucks, we had to settle for San Juan. I take my hat off to Dennis who did it on a hard tail (he might sleep on a bed of nails but who knows?), good job. Sorry the rest of you missed a spectacular day and a great trail. ” -
“ well. we weren't able to do los pinos since we found out you need to get permission from the ranch 24hrs in advance to we shuttled san juan. what an awesome day. the parking lot was packed but the trails weren't too crowded, and the weather was PERFERCT! thanks to paul for loading all our bikes (and us) up to the top. there had been work done on the trail and it was in GREAT shape. Denise did a great job ridng down san juan on his hard tail...yikes! ” -

Just a little FYI, after some follow up with the Trabuco Rangers, they that the property near the end of the trail is in fact private. They said on the weekends usually no problem since school is not in session but they would like people to call ahead just as a courtesy anyway. Lazy W Ranch can be reached at (949) 728-0141 - website: http://www.lazywranch.org/
I'm in contact with the Trabuco District Office of the Cleveland National Forest. They would like to know which ranger told you that you cannot go on the Los Pinos trail without permission (even the bottom portion you mention) because this trail IS on their list of designated trails.

Awesome Paul - I think you're going to really enjoy this trail. It's a tough ride but one which I think you'll be happy to add to your book of "done that" trails.
