Summary:
This is just FYI... The "rock & mortar ruins" at the top are the remains of "Beeks Place". An old hunting cabin that used to have a pool, detached garage, outhouse and guest house along with beautiful landscaping. I did some research and found some old photos. It was also used temporarily as a Forest Service fire lookout. The steel towers are still in place. The "huge golfball" is the Santa Ana Doppler Radar site designed to provide low-level detection of severe weather approaching the metro L.A. area. Please be careful and mindful of Beeks Place when looking around. 12 years ago when I started riding, Beeks Place was still pretty much intact. Over the years careless mountain bikers and folks visiting in their off-road vehicles have torn it to shreds. What a shame. I live in Colorado now but get to visit my old stomping grounds fairly often. It's a fantastic place with a rich history. Take some time and research the little things and you'll be delighted to find the history behind that section of the Cleveland Nat'l Forest.

Summary:
Skyline is basically a constant climb on a very wide and curvacious fire road. The view is great once get up a few hundred feet or so. Watch out for cars and trucks coming down the hill (oftentimes unaware of the existance of mountain bikes). This ride can be short or a days adventure. It is not a trail with a lot of single tracks that you can blaze. Some may say it is bordering on boredom. I personally enjoy it for a solo ride. Skyline is a trail for anyone. Beginners would like it if they can go their own pace. Advance riders would like for the work out. You can work yourself as much as you want on the climb. Great place for intervals if your into that.
About five miles up there is a great view and places to rest. Some old rock and morter ruins near the top and a radio antenna base that looks like a huge golf ball.
The downhill is the same way you came up. However there are single tracks about 35% of the way if you choose to take them. They cut in and out of the fire road. Very fun. Again, Watch out for motorized vehicles.
Have fun, bring lots of water.
