Cheap Thrills directions

[socal rider]

Just wondering if someone could help me with directions to the Cheap Thrills trailhead? I would be coming from the Village.

Is the trail a straight shot from the Village, or do I have to access other trails to get there?

Any and all help/insight would be appreciated,
SCR

you should buy a trail map from the bookstore.....it's pretty easy to get to, albeit a bit of a slog from either side.....you riding big bikes or stuff you can pedal?

since I'm feeling generous, and all this info is available on trail maps (you should still go buy one, it's handy for reference, there are a lot of trails up there)....I got this off the muni GIS site and added a few labels for ya......get yourself to the parking lot at river runs through it/rainbow trail.....go up the rainbow trail to the flank trail, follow the flank trail south towards Function, should be on the signs......it's steep from the rainbow end, probably hike-a-bike for 30+ minutes.....the trail starts at a flat open area, there's a sign that says 'cheap thrills'......from the function end of the flank trail it's about 45 minutes to cheap thrills, all climbable if you've got the legs, lungs and a granny gear....follow cheap thrills, at the end at the road cut across and hit up 99er and danimal too for some extra fun....
