VERY IMPORTANT TO DO WAIVERS AHEAD OF TIME TO AVOID WASTING RIDING TIME DOING PAPERWORK INSTEAD OF RIDING! --> https://www.smartwaiver.com/v/enjoythemountain/ All riders need to bring an official photo id and you need to bring the credit card used for payment. Waivers for minors can only be signed by real parents or official legal guardians (only with legal court order) and CANNOT be signed by any other relative or friend. Video attestation of relationship to minor and minor DOB is required. Signing a waiver on someone else’s behalf is actually fraud and therefore illegal.

Be on time:
Please ensure that you follow the provided instructions and directions exactly so that you don’t have any issues whatsoever. Check the google maps GPS link well in advance for traffic (it is very likely to encounter traffic, road closures or accidents anywhere at any time) so please get going well ahead of time so that you get there at least 20 minutes prior to the start of your appointment to avoid losing any riding time or losing your appointment entirely.
What to wear:
Closed toe shoes or boots are mandatory and no flip flops, water shoes, crocks or sandals will be allowed. Weather conditions can be extreme (cold and warm) and do change often at all of our locations. As long as the trails are open, we ride in any weather condition so you should check your favorite weather forecast. No matter what the weather is, we always recommend to wear long pants (preferably though pants like jeans or riding pants), over the ankle shoes, and use long sleeve layered clothing so that you can put it on or take it off as the weather conditions change, and don't forget that any clothes that you wear will most likely get very dirty. Keep in mind that wearing the appropriate clothing will not only protect you from the weather but also from debris from the trails, other vehicles, insects, etc plus it will be additional protection in the event of an accident. We provide you, at no extra cost, with safety equipment (Helmets, Goggles and Gloves) as well as hygienic head covers to wear under the helmet. You will be wearing a helmet so you might want to avoid hair accessories, large earrings, etc.

The conditions of the Willow Creek Jeep Trail vary constantly depending on the weather / rain so be careful with you car. Most drivers can make it using regular cars but we do recommend SUVs or trucks which have higher ground clearance, sport cars or low profile cars might not be able to pass through. You drive your car at your own risk, so if you don't want to take your car through that dirt road then please park legally before you get to the dirt road and you can just walk the short 0.4 dirt road to our staging area.
From the Lake Arrowhead Village turn left onto HWY 173. Keep on HWY 173 for approximately 10 miles until you pass by the shooting range (will be on your left) and then you need to take the next exit on the right to a dirt road called Willow Creek Jeep Trail (3N34) for 0.4 miles. Keep on that dirt road for a couple of minutes until you get to the first crossing trail where you will make a right turn into a big open area (Pinnacles Staging Area) where you will see our vehicles and guides.
If after leaving the village you get to Blue Jay or to HWY 18 you are then going in the wrong direction. turn around and go back to the starting point. If you are on HWY 173 and for whatever reason you don't see the Willow Creek Jeep Trail, the road will be closed within 2 miles, so if you get to where the road is closed then you've gone too far, please turn around and look for the Willow Creek Jeep Trail exit.
