Ponderosa / Great Divide Trails

A few weeks ago I went on a ride to Ponderosa / Great Divide area just east of Porterville, Ca. There are quiet a few OHV trails up in the 6000-8000 foot elevation range that are absolutely awesome. Most of the trails are relatively soft and smooth, with much less hard pack and rock you find in the foothills and lower elevation trails.

I have an OHV map that I got from the Forest Service Office in Porterville, Ca, but I couldn't find any online versions to link here. I will just post a few images from the ride as well as a rough map of where I went.

I only had my .001megapixel camera phone so the pictures aren't that great.

The best route would be to go up 190 from Porterville or Springville, then go through the Coy Flat campground and up the coy flat road. It is a long road that is partly paved, and very lightweight in terms of "offroad" (even a BWM could handle it. lol)  After 30 minutes going South, you will finally hit an entire network of trails, some grated and smooth, some rough, but all very fun.
