Wrightwood has it all. Trails, mountain biking, trail running, skiing and snowboarding. Archery, paddleboarding, camping, all the things outside. Acupuncture, massage, facials for the apres.

  • Mountain Biking.

    Enjoy many beautiful high altitude trails, some short rides for a quickie, or patch together multiple trails and dirt roads for an all day adventure. Mountain High now has a mountain bike park for lift served riding.

  • Trail Running.

    Wrightwood is home to the AC100 trail race and the Pacific Crest Trail and countless other epic runs and training grounds. Make Wrightwood your training camp base or just come out for a great day of running.

  • Acupuncture.

    After a day of hard play, acupuncture is the best way to recover and heal the body. Wrightwood’s own Naomi Hardison offers acupuncture, cupping and consultations to help you perform at your best.

  • Backcountry Skiing.

    Wrightwood is home to some of the best backcountry skiing SoCal has to offer. From the biggest objectives on Mt. Baden Powell to the safer, low angle cruisers, there is something for everyone, from the beginner to the Pro. Always check avalanche conditions with @SoCalSnow before heading out.

Mountain Bike Trails

Check with the Forest Service for closures due to the 2024 Bridge Fire. Much of the forest has burned, but trails do remain open.

  • Easy to access, take Table Mountain Road and use the pull off on the right half way to the top. Easy mountain biking for first timers and beginners: stay on the fire road. More advanced riders can take the single tracks off the road beginning at the Table Mountain trail. Going down Table Mountain Trail will take you to Highway 2.

  • Blue Ridge Trail can be an out and back (or an up and down, as it were) but it’s most fun if you take the fire road up (Blue Ridge Road) and drop in at the Blue Ridge Campground. Some of these areas may be closed due to the Bridge Fire, check with the Forrest Service at Big Pines before heading out. This is a super fun, super fast singeltrack, just be aware that hikers, kids, families and dogs are often on the trail. This trail has been burned by the 2024 Bridge Fire and is free of live vegetation for the most part.

  • Boy Scout can be ridden out and back, or as a loop with Jackson Lake Trail. Take Boy Scout up, beginning at Jackson Lake. Check for closures with the Forest Service. While much of the area burned in the Bridge Fore 2024, there are still enough trees and plants to make this a pleasant ride.

  • Begins just below Arches picnic ground on Big Pines Highway. This is a great add-on to a longer loop, but can be a stand alone ride. There is a big climb out of the single track, which can be a little soul crushing, but the trail is worth it. This trail is filled with features and creek crossings. It’s super fast and rarely has hikers, it’s a one-way trail. This trail ends at Jackson Lake, so park there, ride up the road, or for a longer day, take Boy Scout up, down Logging Road/Pine Cone and finish on Leprechaun.
