TOStester Posted April 7, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Curious if anyone here has done these California backcountry discovery trails, and if so what were your thoughts? The National Forest Service literature leads me to believe the vast majority of the trail segments are at worst rough graded gravel roads with the few "alternate" segments being for short wheel base 4x4 only two track. Can anyone comment on the alternate segments and the trails overall? Plan is to primitive camp along the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted April 7, 2015 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Sounds like fun. I'm not that familiar with those trails though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUXH8R Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 This is the first I have heard of the CBDTs... would love to know where I can learn about all of them and get maps. There supposedly is one that runs from Wrightwood to Gorman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason R Posted April 8, 2015 My Ride Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I was born and raised in that area. Looks like alot of fun. Brings back memories of driving the logging trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUXH8R Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just got off the phone with Danna Scholz from the National Forest Map Store. She was able to confirm that the CBDT is shown on the following National Forest Maps: Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Angeles, Six Rivers, Mendocino, & Tahoe. I ordered them and will review them and start creating GPX files for them... should be a fun little project to R&D, and by that I mean get out and ride the trails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyNuke Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I had a great secluded camping area on the backside of lassen several years ago. That could be a really great ride, head up the coast from socal, bounce over to lassen and down 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
