The Great San Joaquin Canyon Scramble

Imagine for a moment standing on the side walk of Newport Coast Drive looking over the ridges of the San Joaquin Hills. Now, drop down a crazy technical single track into Los Trancos Canyon. Soon you will be up the other side and dropping down into Muddy Canyon, then Deer Canyon, then into 600 Foot Canyon, then El Moro Canyon, then Emerald Canyon, and finally into Laguna Canyon. Now look back towards the direction of Newport Coast and head back.

It will be brutal, but it will be great. Everything is mapped and good to go other than the first leg of Los Trancos. If I don't find a pre-established route soon, I'll be out there with my machete and hoe.

To be completed and tested by the 2008-2009 Winter.
