Summary:
Okay, so this trail has some strengths and some weaknesses compared to the rest of the riding around th LA area. I just rode it today, and the singletrack section is in bad shape in some spots...just really loose sand and rutted up. It's not so bad you have to walk, but you can't really open up the throttle and bomb it, which is what makes all the climbing worth to me. If you like slow and technical, it's okay, but not great. Lots of climbing, great views, but no chance to really go fast.

Recommended Route:
I usually start in Burbank, because the parking is safer and you won't get your car broken into. I ride up the Stough Canyon fireroad (starts at the eastern-most part of Walnut Ave, by the Stough Cyn Nature Center) and then turn right. From here, it's a short climb to the singletrack, which is on your left in a very obvious spot. Ride the meandering singletrack down to La Tuna Cyn Rd, which runs parrallel to the 210. Follow La Tuna Cyn Rd until you hit the parking area, and then it's a long, tedious climb up to all the antennas. the climb sucks, but the view is awesome. From the top, take the Verdugo Motorway west until you hit the trail you first came up on. Then coast down to Burbank.

Honestly, it's worth the extra driving time to go out to Malibu and ride the backbone. It's faster, more technical and more fun.

Summary:
Before you hit dirt, there is a pretty steep climb, paved road. At the T intersection,you will see somekind-transmitting-stations. There is some space you can sit and have a better view at the further station. I ride this trail almost everyday alone, but have tried a singletrack few times. Because the singletrack is tough and I don't have skill to ride.
If you are unlike me, you will LOVE the singletrack.
