Very steep with a lot of cactus to maneuver. Great hike with great views. Bring lots of water and start early.

This was an off road trip with some pretty capable Jeeps (all had lifts and 35” tires). We potentially could have battled to go further but much of the trail was in the creek bed and/or washed out. Great scenery, weather and isolation. High clearance mandatory for the descent and exit.

Very difficult trail involved lots of bouldering. Trail is partially marked but one could easily get lost.

Extremely long hike with lots of slippery rocks and a treacherous decent. Great workout with beautiful views!

This was a long day in the desert bagging peaks in the Santa Rosa Mountain range. Narrow, steep, rocky trails with lots of sharp, stabby plants to avoid! I loved it!!!

This hike had a lot of amazing bouldering and scrambling which starts about a third of the way to the Falls… The falls were empty dribble, some great Views up and down the canyon in several spots to chill out… Large rocks tons of palm trees and beautiful presence all around

This was a cool sightseeing mostly easy off road 4x4 drive. Mostly sandy wash, partially in sandstone canyons, with one section near the north end (Truckhaven) requiring high clearance.

As a sand driving adventure and viewpoint, this is amazing. Be safe and have fun. This does have extreme drops, so do be careful. I wrote the description above for more information.

Nice easy hike. Total 9 miles. Great views at the end of the trail.

This was one of my first official Jeep badge of honor trails I completed and I have to say it was one to remember. I will definitely be hitting this up in the future. I do recommend having some 33 inch tires or bigger (all-terrain or muds )are good, some rock sliders and a mild lift. This trail will definitely get you ready for the more challenging trails. I would say go with someone else just in case and also one with a winch. Or snatch straps in case you get hung up.

Fun little walk/hike to a couple overlooks. We did it as an out and back as we didn’t want to do the longed loop and the shortcut back is closed to rehabilitate the plants. Best to do in the morning as the summer heat can be stifling even at the slight elevation.

Great overland trip in the Anza-Borrego state park. Jeep Wrangler, 4Runner, or Tacoma style rig with a basic lift should get you there. Full sized pickups were too big to make it through some of the features.

Great run with a small group. We started late and never got to go all the way through. Very technical deep in the canyon, requires a spotter the first time through. Lifted, short wheelbase vehicles only. 37” tires recommended, 35” may not be enough rubber.

Failed attempt at Indianhead Mountain. Easy until the Palm Oasis. Past Palm Oasis requires route finding, boulder hopping and Bush whacking. Finally once you reach the turn point to start climbing the canyon wall, there really isn’t anything that resembles the trail. Made it to the saddle and decided to call it a day. Just not worth a slip and fall down the side of the mountain. A better view of the surrounding area can be achieved at Villager Peak and the trail is much better defined.

This was an amazing drive! Good views all around, especially through Sandstone Canyon. Super easy for all types of vehicles
