Description for Daley Ranch
Daley Ranch in the City of Escondido, covers more than 3000 acres. Daley Ranch has some great mountain biking close to town. The trails are a combination of double track and single track, though mostly double track/fire road. There are some good hill climbs here and not really anything is flat. The riding is tough but I think even a beginner could have fun if they go the right way. Right out of the parking lot you start the climb but don’t let that discourage you, just a good warm up. I recommend heading right out of the parking lot and doing a counterclockwise loop of the park.
Directions to Daley Ranch Trailhead
To get to the Daley Ranch trailhead exit Del Norte Parkway off I-15 in Escondido. Go East about 4 miles until you reach La Honda Rd. Take a left on La Honda. Follow the signs to Lake Dixon from the freeway, Daley Ranch trailhead is at the lake entrance.

Daley Ranch is a great place to stretch your legs and find some fun single track mixed in with the jeep roads. There is lots of climbing which means there is a lot of descending. The route shown is pretty good. A beginner in good shape can ride most of Daley Ranch but there are sections of the trail that will challenge you. Intermediate riders will blast this place and have lots of fun. Watch out for rattle snakes in the summer.
2. Nice run

I'm a total novice and this place made sure I knew that. I didn't get to experience the full loop because I took a "wrong" turn down to the bottom but who cares, the way down was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay fun.... of course I had to climb back up, which took most of my energy, time and strength. It hurt. A lot. I'll be riding this one next week to get the full loop experience. All in all, awesome ride considering there were very few (if any) riders, hikers, or horses to worry about. Although it was quite hot today. That may have been a turn off for many, but not I. Ride it. Love it.
