Chaparral mountain trails lead off in many directions with dead end canyons and side routes. This high desert region consists of private property, ranches with gates, various trails and desert dirt roads &#8211; between 2400&#8242; and 4000&#8242; elevation.<\/p>\n<p>A good portion of the lands on the west side of paved S2 are not inside the State Park boundary, but Oriflamme is the exception.

Rd. S2). The sign at the turn off reads Oriflamme Canyon. The first sandy mile or so gets kinda confusing, as the ranch road, dirt trails and natural desert wash merge with the seasons and rains. You might encounter locked gates if you take the wrong turn. In the wash look for signage for Oriflamme.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 2 miles from S2 the dirt road splits. To the left is Mason Valley Truck Trail, which continues up\u00a0 Oriflamme Canyon and into wooded Chariot Canyon, eventually connecting with Hwy 78 (at Banner Grade). And the other choice on the right is a rugged 4&#215;4 route called Rodriguez Truck Trail which is 7 miles long and meets back up with the main Oriflamme road about a mile from the highway. These back roads encircle the biggest peak around called Chariot Mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Mountain bikers, hikers, horses and vehicles all use these routes, so be prepared to see others out exploring and please, always yield to equestrian traffic.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/roadtobanner.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-6371\" src=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/roadtobanner-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Mason Valley Truck Trail\" width=\"237\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/roadtobanner-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/roadtobanner.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/looking2anza.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6368\" src=\"https:\/\/totalescape.com\/outside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/looking2anza-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Anza Views\" width=\"214\" height=\"164\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Several open, free camp spots lower in the canyon w\/ large cottonwood trees.
