Leona Divide is an easy point-to-point trail that is perfect for beginners. It’s located in the Sierra Pelona Mountains, just east of Green Valley. It consists of graded and rough dirt with occasional gravel. At the 10.5-mile mark, you’ll have to cross San Francisquito Canyon Road to finish the final 2.6 miles. 4WD is not necessary but will help with traction on the small hill climbs.
A main point of interest in this area is the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. It’s a 2,653-mile hiking trail that stretches from the United States-Mexico border to the United States-Canada border. The trail runs parallel to Leona Divide and has two access points nearby. The first is off Grass Mountain Road, and the second is 700 yards west of the trail endpoint.
There is no camping on this trail.
