I used to ride at Ballinger a lot in the mid 90s. This trail looks like what we used to call "Gibbs Gulch". I went into it way early during the Leapin' Lizard Enduro one year and there was a check at the end. I was the only rider to zero it. Ha ha!!!

I haven't been there before. Judging by this trail, would you say that Ballinger isn't really for quads? Should I take my CR instead? How do I get there from the SF Valley? Can you camp there? Are there fees? Thanks!

Go to Google Maps and look up Cuyama, California. From 166 you go South on 33 for about a mile or two, and then turn left (east) into Ballinger Canyon Road. I think you need an Adventure Pass to ride there (you buy it at any ranger station, many sporting goods stores sell them too.

Dont be tellin people where Ballinger is at (esp on the internet) I like that place the way it is uncrowded and mellow. plus they dont have one way trails so it's easy to get into a head on collision. Love that place though, definitely not for beginners or quads though.

please post more video of trail 22 my dad said at the end therer is a big boulder tha that you have to wheelie over is that true thanks for the cool vid though

[xylicon]

No boulder, what you just saw what the complete trail 22. The only iffy part is that there is a fallen tree about halfway in you have to get off and walk your bike under it.
