brianpc 0 Posted February 28, 2018 Hi All, Still new around here (and new-ish to SD) and learning the riding spots. So far been mostly to Corral Canyon. I see a few things here and there about Otay mountain trails / OHV - but nothing with that name here. Is it called something else, or is it closed, and is it good riding (if it's open / OHV area)? Thanks in advance, Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
350thumper 336 Posted February 28, 2018 Most of it is plated . Part of it is OHV especially near Marron Valley entrance. Its patrolled by Rangers . Good trails out there . Watch out for oncoming cars or trucks and motorcycles Steer clear of the border patrol nests on the southern end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ride in the afternoons around Otay mountains sometimes after work. Let me know if you have 2 or 3 hours to ride starting around 3 pm or so next week.

cvsurf 0 Posted April 13, 2018 Hello, I am new to the dual sport world. Had my Yamaha xt 250 since Feb.. I was out at Otay this weekend. Met a guy named Tim who was really into border protection and putting up little flags all around the different trails. Not my thing but he seemed like a cool enough guy. He was mentioning the different ride options. He said he could ride from Imperial Beach to Yuma on the different dirt roads and trails. Specifically it sounded like the road that runs along the border wall. Looking forward to doing more exploration around the area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reximus 10 Posted April 14, 2018 There are several shades of accuracy to his statement... some places are "off limits", others OK to ride. Curious to learn more about "Tim". Best advice is travel fast and leave no trace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
350thumper 336 Posted April 17, 2018 Interested in these little flags that Tim is putting up.. Are they trail markers for new trails ? Braa-puh- raaap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvsurf 0 Posted April 17, 2018 No I don't believe they are trail markers. When I mentioned flags, they are small US flags. He seems to be more into patriotism of border protection. He gave me a card for his website which is americanpatriotguardians.com. He was a really nice guy but he seemed to be more into border protection rather than just riding his bike for fun. He had a Honda 250 and seemed to know quite a bit about the different trail around the area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
350thumper 336 Posted April 17, 2018 Oh ok id like to get a couple little american flags for the rear fender of my 650. That would be sweet to rock my country's pride where ever i go (yeehoo)Especially near the border to support our troops. Hope 2 see 250 tim out there. Hit him up for some trail knowledge. And some sweet flag patriotism. My bike is red white and blue . Go'merica. Speaking of new trails out there, are there any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted April 17, 2018 I got a chuckle from this part on his page Pretty sure I work with some of the last sentence folks every day (don't we all?!), and I am not in Law Enforcement. I like the flag idea! The United States Customs and Border Protection Officers are real live, modern day, gun totin', badge wearin', American heroes. Anyone who is unable to comprehend this simple fact is a real live, modern day, American moron and you have our sympathy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
350thumper 336 Posted April 17, 2018 Ya what he said.. Especially the moron part. Itchin to get out there .as soon as my new main jet comes in so i can enjoy all of the beauty, solitude, and now patriatism the otay trails has to offer. (bike sputters at 3/4 to full throttle) Braaa,cough,raaaap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
