Hello all,
I was just wondering if you guys know any 2wd friendly trails and other places I could explore. I only have 2wd with no lockers, but i do have a winch if it is needed. Right now, I've only been to trabuco creek, but I'd love to go off roading on other trails and areas in the socal/ Orange County area. Thanks!

Blair Valley/Little Blair Valley are nice 2WD areas east of San Diego in Anza Borrego with fantastic camping.
3N16/Holcomb Valley Trail is a really nice ride you can link from Lake Arrowhead all the way to Baldwin Lake east of Big Bear, which is another nice day trip for a 2WD.

The main fire road at Cleghorn is 2wd friendly, Maple Springs up to Santiago Peak is as well. Pretty much all of the Main Divide is 2wd friendly in the Santa Anas.

If your looking in OC. Santiago Peak through Silverado Canyon has close to 100 miles of 2wd trails.

What's the best way to go to Santiago Peak from Long Beach? I keep hearing about it and want to go there.

Chapman avenue through Orange to just past Irvine Lake is a left turn onto Blackstar/Sileravdo Canyon. After that left make an immediate right and take the road all the way to the top of Saddleback. There are many off-shoot roads to take you to Riverside, Temecula or Ortega Hwy. Holy Jim trail is the most popular. I've taken the north trail that takes you to the 91 fwy, it's a nice trail but you have to double back to go home and it's about 25 miles one way. Be sure to air down, the roads are really rough and rocky and will rattle your bones.

I have had very good luck with alltrails.com to find local trails to run.
You can load it on your phone/ PC/ tablet/ whatever. You can pay if you want to download stuff but the free version will give you the information you need.
Under "What to do", select "offroad driving" and then you can also select difficulty (Easy/ Medium probably good for 2wd) and read the write ups which can usually tell you if you can make it using 2wd/ need high clearance, etc. Then, just move/ zoom the map in and out for the area size you want to search and it will search just that area.
Sorry, didn't mean for this to come off like a product plug, just a handy tool I use a lot.

I could probably swing Sunday, or Saturday afternoon/evening. Its pretty cool at night as well.
AllTrails is pretty cool, I've used it many times.
