This trail is frequently closed, but a good trail if you can catch it open 😉

Easy trail; should be doable in any vehicle with clearance better than most highway vehicles. There is a tree blocking the trail somewhere between 4 & 5 waypoints, road is narrow there, so be prepared to reverse for ~600ft

Easy going through this trail today. Never needed 4wD. It looks like there are 3 other trails not marked on the map that shoot off of this one..

Fun place to drive through in a AWD car. There are two optional side paths that can cause some body damage if not done carefully but doable in any stock 4x4. Right now the road is closed until September 17th due to the wildfires.

Easy trail (stock Rubicon), pretty scenic we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately about a 1/4 of a mile from Mesa Truck trail for a way out to the 76 (which was the plan) was closed, so had to turn around too bad!!! Good times though I can imagine that during the rainy season (when there is one) should be really pretty with water in the creeks. Leave no trace, just your tire tracks, and foot prints!!!

Easy trail, great for beginners like me. We saw some deer today which was cool. Nice views and easy to get too. He was right about the poison oak it was everywhere in the greener area of the trail.

Our very first off road drive in our new stock wrangler sport. Loved it and with some challenging sections to make us appreciate what our jeep could do! I am told jeep going up has right away so little concerned how we would handle the tight road but saw no one else. Very beautiful area, went up to Julian for some pie after.

Fun 1.5 hour trip to take with the family. Nothing technical but just a nice place to get on the dirt and enjoy some nice scenery. Lots of hunters out today so careful on some of the turns. We did see lots of wild turkeys and and a few deer under the trees on the fenced off areas.

Very easy trail, great for beginners or to test out a rig. Weather was perfect!

This is a fun trail in some beautiful backcountry for a newbie. You can spend the entire day in the Pamo Valley heading up this trail, the Orozco Truck Trail (not reviewed yet at trailsoffroad.com), Upper Santa Yzabel Trail, and the Black Mountain Trail. I've personally been up all four trails at least a dozen times. There is a huge amount of wildlife in the Pamo Valley. I have seen coyotes, wild turkeys, bobcats, diamondback rattlesnakes, and deer. Be sure to bring your camera. The Pamo Valley itself, which provides access to all these trails, was once slated to become a major reservoir here in San Diego. As you drive through Pamo Valley, just imagine what a shame that would have been.
