Sat. me and a group of friends rode from viejas to the devils punchbowl below ramona and julian. their is some beautiful country here in san diego, I'll let the pictures do all the talking. the trail ride was great, it included 4 major river crossings ranging from 1-3 feet deep and about 20ft wide on average. if you've never been to cedar creek falls, go because it is a beautiful place!

Where do you stage at? I live in Alpine and never new of this trail. Can you take a utv on this trail or is it motorcycle only?

the trail to get there is all reservation land and off limits unless you are indian. we went with a friend of mine who is indian thats how its okay for us to go. they do not take kindly to trespassers. you can legally hike down to the devils punch bowl from julian or from san diego estates in ramona. there is a dirt road from ramona thats on national forest that makes it within 4 miles of the punchbowl.

bummer... that's what i figured. i was all excited to go do some exploring in my backyard. oh well. thanks for the post.

it is a shame. it is an awesome ride and there is some great scenery along the way. go check out anderson truck trail in alpine. there are some good trails up there.

cool deal... i will.

Looks like a cool place!

I think you can also hike in from Boulder Creek road.

yessir, you can hike in from boulder creek road, but you have to cross reservation land from there.

Did you see any hogs while you were back there?

Wow... gorgeous. Looks like lots of fun!

Matt, thats AWESOME!! I'm jealous Thanks for sharing the pics...

no hogs. no turkeys. it was real windy sat. so most animals were bedded down.

on our way out another guy i know had driven in with a friend in his truck to go shooting and he shot a 4ft southwestern diamondback for supper.

You guys were right out behind my house. The punchbowl is about a 45 minute hike from my place, very cool for sure, and way cool this time of year!
