The Luge is a renowned SoCal singletrack descent that looks like… well, a luge track. With banked berms on every corner, the swoop and flow of this classic trail is nearly unbeatable!

Description

Over the years, the Luge has taken a beating from trail traffic due its immense popularity. Braking bumps and washouts have formed, making this flow trail relatively rough for what it is.

Despite a few rocks here and there, and the wear and tear to the trail, this sweet slice of singletrack is still uber-fast and way fun. It’s even a great choice for early intermediate riders… if they can brave the pedal to the top.

While there are a few different ways to access the top of The Luge, mapped here is one of the shortest routes to loop this fabulous SoCal descent.

Difficulty

Moderate

Mostly stable trail tread with some variability, with unavoidable obstacles 8in/20cm tall or less. Other obstacles such as rock gullies and steep sections may exist. Ideal for lower intermediate riders.
