I wheel all over, rubicon, fordyce, barrett, moab, johnson valley. Current rig
Currently driving a '21 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison - super capable truck with front and rear lockers, 4hi and 4lo, Boron steel skid plates, winch ready front bumper, reinforced rear bumper, etc.. I bought it 12/26/21, and have put 11k miles on it already. I live in Sacramento, and have been to a number of places with it -
- Prairie City off-road park - great experience for a new off-roader to play around in a safe environment and have plenty of help around in case you need it.
- Mormon Emigrant Trail (MET) - in the winter, the road is covered in snow and it is NOT cleared, so it's fun for snow-wheeling. In the summer, there are lots of offshoots and trails
- Slate Mountain Trail - nice mellow trail that ends up at the top of a range with an old radio tower and great views
- Old Latrobe Rd - just a nice scenic dirt trail/path that goes through some hilly areas just outside El Dorado Hills - great if you wanna just get out of the house and don't want something that's going to take up your whole day.
- River Bed in Esparta - outside Woodland area - fun place to go drive through a dried up river bed, some water crossings and stuff too.
- Indian Valley Reservoir - a little bit of a drive to get there, but lots of trails and great views
- Henness Pass - great drive along some ridges through the mountains - absolutely beautiful views
- Foresthill Rd - fun trail to the top of a pretty steep hill (I think I hit 29 degrees incline at one point) - some sharp rocks and stumps up there - make sure you air down so you don't puncture your sidewall like I did
- Bowman Lake - this is off of Henness Pass, but makes a nice drive as well.
- Moon Rocks, NV - this is absolutely amazing... it's a bit more of a drive to get there, but the views are so cool, and there's tons of trails and rock climbing stuff (for those who want it)
