TAKE ON THE EPIC SINGLETRACK:
SAN JUAN TRAIL

We are thrilled to unveil the latest addition to the Singletrack Searcher Trail Challenge: the epic San Juan Trail! This trail marks the seventh installment in our series, offering yet another opportunity to earn the Trail Pennant Sticker.

San Juan is more than just a trail; it's a mountain biker's rite of passage. The ride isn't easy, especially for those who decide to push on and complete "The Lollipop" route.

To embark on the San Juan Trail adventure, take the Ortega Highway to the Lazy W Ranch turnoff at Hot Spring Canyon road and follow the it to the parking area. This rustic trail has no services, so make sure to bring all the gear you need for the ride. The trailhead is marked, and you'll start with one of the best and most challenging singletrack climbs, covering a distance of 6 miles until you reach the infamous Cocktail Rock.

To earn the pennant, you'll descend back down the trail you just climbed. However, once you reach Cocktail Rock, riders have the option to push on for the Lollipop loop, head up to Blue Jay campground, or take Viejo Tie and experience more amazing singletrack before descending.

If you're new to the San Juan Trail, head over to Trailforks, where you can find all the information you need.

Get ready to conquer the San Juan Trail and check off another trail for the Singletrack Searcher Challenge!

Note: San Juan Pennants will be sent out on July 10th (we’re currently on a vanlife riding trip).

Simply copy and paste the URL from your ride in the Ride Link field of our submission page.

Note: We only need a link – not an exported file.
