Hard Off Road 4X4 Trails In Southern California

Описание: Getting tired of the easy 4x4 trails and looking for some trails that are a bit more difficult in Southern California? This video is the NotaRubicon’s list of our favorite "more difficult", hard, and black-diamond offroad trails in the Southern California area.
To complete any of these 4x4 trails it is recommended that your Jeep or 4WD vehicle have at least 33 inch tires, a moderate lift, disconnected sway-bar or AntiRock sway bar, and at least one locker. None of these off road trails should be attempted alone.

Hard Off Road Trails In Southern California:

5 - John Bull (3N10 - Big Bear)
Located in the Big Bear Lake, this 3.5 mile black-diamond OHV trail has several rocky areas and a few extra-credit spots. The east-side gatekeeper is one of the hardest in the area. After you make it through the first mile, the trail gets easier, until you reach the west-side gatekeeper, a long, moderately difficult rock-garden.

4 - Pinyon Mountain Trail
Located in the mountains between Borrego Springs and the town of Julian, most of of Pinyon Mountain Trail is not too difficult but it’s two famous obsticals, "the squeeze", and Heart Attack Hill should only be attempted by experienced off-roaders. Pinyon Mountain trail is a “one way only” trail with no bypasses.

3 - Marble Canyon aka "The Bar Trail"
Sometimes referred to as a “secret” 4x4 trail, Marble canyon is a short trail that boasts rocks.. LOTS of rocks, that are round and smooth, and tend to roll around under your jeep, like giant marbles.

2 - Mottino Wash
An off-shoot of Rattlesnake Canyon in the mountains between Lucerne Valley and Big Bear, Mottino Wash is a short, very difficult trail complete with rocks, ledges and a few extreme-extra credit spots.

1- Garden of Eden
While most of the Garden of Eden trail is not very difficult, this trail boasts one of the most difficult and dangerous gatekeepers in Southern California. A nearly sheer-vertical wall, barely wide enough for a Jeep, approximately 30 feet tall.
Because of the legendary status of this trail, most off-roaders keep it’s location a closely guarded secret. There is also some debate as to whether or not the Garden of Eden off road trail is a "legal" trail.
