Trail Advice - near Riverside

[Brian_B]

I live in Central CA, so not familiar with SoCal so much for offroad runs.

I've got a friend who own's a F150 Raptor. He has a brother and uncle who do as well. None of them have really been offroad at all, but want to go.

Most of what I do has been mountains/woods - not really done much in the desert area. But they want to go, and it would need to be a day trip for them - which means near Riverside.

Now, there's a ton down that way within a few hours. Looking for some Raptor-friendly, newer-to-offroad friend suggestions if anyone has any.

Thanks in advance!

Also looking at Stoddard Mountain outside Barstow

It's a bit of a drive, but any of the trails near Anza Borrego are great. Highly recommend. https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/trails/us/california/fonts-point

Cleghorn is a good easy trail. You can bypass most obstacles if they seem too much. Just map out your trail, it gets fun on a couple different ways out.
Johnson Valley if you want to send it.

Started out at Stoddard - ran around the west side a bit - fairly tame with lots of whoops. East side was running an event for /X and we almost accidently ended up in. We got a burger then went down and checked out Bronco Knoll. Was a decent day run

Thanks for all the other advice too - not forgotten, we will be back this way eventually, SoCal is a great winter wheeling area

Thanks for the mention! Sorry for the late reply but definitely check out El Mirage Dry Lakes if you haven’t already, run those Raptors through the desert! It’s some fun times out there

Second for Anza Borrego not too far from Riverside if you go down via the 10 to Palm Springs
