North County San Diego trails?
Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum...I'll be in Escondido this Friday and was wondering if anyone knew any good areas to hit that are near there? Palomar mountain?

Ha Ha! Thx for the warning! Ya, this is just a quick fun run with my son for the day. Are there any good Jeep clubs based out of Diego or Oarnge County. I'd like to start banging out some more challenging runs, with backup and people who know wtf they're doing.
Cheers!
Cheers!

Welcome!
There is a group going on the Cleghorn Ridge Trail on Friday morning. It is kinda far (approx 100 miles from Escondido to the trailhead) but a nice day run. It's a basic fire road with by-pass trails that make it tougher. There is a thread on the SoCal page or let me know if you want more info.

North County Trails
1. This Forum has members "hitting the trails" every weekend and many times during the week of a holiday.
I suggest you go to the "Staging Area" section on this Forum and click on "SoCal" to see what's going on over this weekend. Lots.
2. The Anza Borrego Desert State Park is about 75 miles east of Escondido, just get on Rt 78 and keep driving until you get there. There are over 500 miles of off road trails to run ranging from easy to OMG !. A few miles further east is the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area with even more trails - but it is the area frequented by motorcycles, quads, three wheelers and sand rails where they all act bat-crap crazy sailing over sand dunes and spinning themselves in circles until they puke. Personally, I stay clear of this area, especially on Thanksgiving weekend.
3. You are in off road paradise ! DON'T GO ALONE !

Don't forget about Truckhaven training facility. It's 2 hours from Escondido it's located off the sr-22 and the hwy-86 next to the salton sea. Nice safe place to play around
