Have done them both a few times, most recently Dec 30th. Pretty good area for being so close to me in Bako.

Good deal. Pretty easy? Looks like you've got a jk hard rock.

Yeah, it’s not too bad at all... pretty good elevation increase, but more deep ruts than rocks if that makes sense. Quite a few spots you can make it a little tougher if you choose to as well. And yes sir, 2016 HR... turning out to be a lot of fun.

I was wondering if it was open, the forest service website hasn't been updated in a while.
Keep us posted on when you're going. I might be able to get out for some mod week fun.

Sounds good. I'll run over on the 1st to make sure it's open and plan on running it on the 2nd.

there are a few trails in the area that show closed on the web site that are actually open... I drove over Sunday to check it out, closed. Called over yesterday and got the opening date.
New Member looking for trails
recently got a jeep and am excited to get it off road. Looking for anyone who knows of any beginner type runs or trails near the LA area (i'm located by LAX). Would be interested in some easier trails as the jeep is stock and i don't have much experience and don't want to risk to much damage to her right away. If anyone has tips or tricks to meeting some socal people who like to get out on the weekends it would be appreciated. Thanks!

You should Introduce yourself and your Jeep in the "wave section".... A good beginner place close by to get your "tires dirty" is Gorman. About 45 min from LAX.... California City, Trabuco Canyon, Cleghorn, Azuza, Mojave, Johnson Valley, Big Bear to name a few.... you can download a Trail App and search near LA for "Easy Trails" ... Area's like Cleghorn you can bypass the big stuff and stick to fire roads.... Also keep an eye out on this thread. Welcome to Wayalife.
Thanks for the input Trailhunter! I will head over to the wave sections for now. Look forward to getting some great advice from the board and maybe seeing some of you out there.

I'm officially 30 days out from my wedding so I probably won't be getting the Jeep dirty for at least 31. Damn it!

In that case let's plan on the 1st.

I hoping I'll be able to go, but it looks like only a 50% chance for me on the 1st.
Too many irons in the fire right now [emoji37].
Keep the plans posted and I'll join in if I can.
