About the Saddleback 10K
The Saddleback 10K is the shortest trail distance at Black Star Canyon in the Cleveland National Forest near Silverado, California. The out-and-back course runs along the creek on a mostly flat truck trail with a slight gain, then climbs a few short, steep switchbacks for a view back into the canyon before returning to the forest gate start and finish.
