I'm going to be doing some business in Carlsbad in a few weeks. Any recommended trails/areas I should ride? I'll be coming from Prescott, AZ.

Thanks

La Costa is fun. Calavera is also in Carlsbad, but I've never been there. Heard it's a little hard to follow until you get it figured out. La Costa is pretty easy to follow, climb up, ride down, repeat.

I would ride La Costa. Calavera Lake is a small, highly impacted area with multiple trails, many of which have been deemed illegal. The legal ones are usually crowded.

@celler What do you like to ride in Prescott? I live there as well and came from Oceanside. I rode Calavera twice a week and HATED La Costa. I will agree that Calavera can be a maze and plenty of the area is technically illegal but it's enforced every 6-8 months for a couple days. It's not an issue to concern yourself with.

I'd be happy to show you around Calavera if you'd like. Shoot me a PM if interested.

What type of trails do you want to ride? More XC, more technical, are you OK with steep climbs?
