Newbie looking for Trails around L.A.

[RonB]

I usually head up to Gorman (Hungry Valley) or to Azusa Canyon. I like Hungry Valley because you can choose your level of carnage. There is a 4x4 "practice" area, and 100's of miles of trails with hills/obstacles ranging from boring to insane. I've broken my truck on one particular hill more times than I care to remember. fun fun fun!

Azusa is fun too. There are water crossings and hills to play on, though not as many hills as Hungry Valley. I like to go and watch all the locals mud-boggin' their home-made beasts. Last time I was there the military showed up to practice extracting their 6x6 trucks from the mud.

I am in Studio City, Gorman is 55 miles north, Azusa canyon is about 45 miles east. Let me know if you guys go and I'll join you.
