Overview

8S05 - Highpoint is in the Cleveland National Forest. It is an ideal 4x4 off-road trail for the newbie wheeler to gain access to the west end of Palomar Divide Trail up at the top of the ridge. The views to the south, of the Aguanga Valley and beyond are spectacular. The Cutca Hiking Trailhead goes off to the west from this trail into the Agua Tibia Wilderness for some fantastic scenery and dispersed camping. You can encounter every forest animal except bear so be watchful and respectful.
