End of Silverado Canyon, gate is often closed to vehicles but sometimes open to 4x4s and "street legal" dirt motorcycles. Almost always open to mountain bikes.

Maple Springs Trailhead is found at the end of Silverado Canyon Road, in Cleveland National Forest. The gate will be closed at times of high fire risk or bad weather.

Maple Springs Road is initially paved (with some potholes) but gives way to a dirt road. It's exposed, hot and you'll likely be sharing the route with 4x4 / motocross bikes - my recommendation, don't argue about right of way, just give way. And bring your own water!
