Thumbs up SoCal 4x4 Trails and Waypoints!

We have started a small database of GPS waypoints marking different trailheads, campsites and other off-road points of interest in Southern California. Our Local Area Leaders will be updating this file on a regular basis as new waypoints are visited.

Please help us contribute to this database!

The database is small right now, but we can make it bigger with your help. The next time you visit a SoCal trail, campsite or other off-road POI, we encourage you to mark it on your GPS and post in this thread! Feel free to give us as much information about the waypoint as you like, including pictures or non-commercial links. Just make sure that your coordinates are in the WGS84 format (see example below) and only share waypoints that you have actually visited and marked yourself. Also, please only use this thread for posting waypoints, POIs and trail information-- there is a discussion thread on this topic here, for suggestions, comments or questions.

The file can be downloaded below in the GPS eXchange file format (GPX)-- it can be opened in most GPS/mapping programs including Garmin Mapsource, Magellan Mapsend, National Geographic Topo! and Google Earth.

NOTE: These waypoints are to be used at your own risk and their accuracy is not guaranteed. Just because a waypoint is listed does not mean it is always accessible to vehicle travel. Know before you go and always tread lightly! Please report any errors to an Area Leader.

Latest file version is SoCal4x4-v1-1.gpx, as of 1/30/08. Click below for download.

Default N33 20.044, W116 22.064 - South Coyote Canyon Trailhead

N33 20.044, W116 22.064 - South Coyote Canyon Trailhead

Located in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, just outside of Borrego Springs, CA. The trail is moderate with 3 river crossings (one can be fairly deep) and a couple of fun, rocky hill climbs. There is a designated campground, Sheep Camp, at the end of the trail that has a couple pavillions and can accomodate a lot of Jeeps. Here are a couple of pics:

Sugarpine Mountain Trail
N34 12.52 W117 20.96

This is a 17 mile easy trail along a shelf road in the San Bernardino National Forest right off the I215 3 miles south of I15. This trail offers beautiful views and a great fragrance of fresh pine. The end of the trail gets rocky so watch your tires.

Does anyone have a good definition of WGS84 data. I see DD.dd, DD MM.mm, DD MM SS.ss representations. Are all of these valid?

More importantly I guess... Are we all going to post in the decimal form, or the degree, minute, second form.

Btw, found a good decimal to DegMinSec converter at: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html
