Your footage, drone views with great background music and easy narrating makes your videos a pleasure to view. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Michael_Tran]

Thank you very much!

[@shanefrechette613]

Thanks for the information and great video 😎

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks...hopefully it helps

Watch The Hills Have Eyes before going on any of these adventures. Never take directions from a stranger. Never speak to zombies. Be safe. :-)

[@mythicbjj5218]

Love the videos. Keep em coming. I'm new to the game, this helps!!

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...will do, I have a few trail video coming up

[@Paiadakine]

If you are in San Diego area. Superstition OHv has lots of trails and sand. The SD 4 Wheelers have a weekend event in January with guided trails for first timer off-road to harder break your Jeep trails.

[@dgonzz90]

Do you think a 1st gen Tundra could make it ? It’s 2wd but with v8

[@robleroherlin]

This is exactly what ive been looking for, im new to off roading so i want to start easy. Great video.

[@Michael_Tran]

Glad this video was helpful man

[@ericschmidt1987]

Exactly I love these videos as a new off roader.

[@sautan904]

Hi. We are new and just picked up Subaru Outback Touring XT. Not really offroader but can this car handle these trails?

[@Michael_Tran]

I think ill do fine on these trails

[@vardgesmkrtchian2743]

Did the outback to okay at Phillips Loop? I have a stock rav 4 and thinking which of these trails would be ok for me

[@Michael_Tran]

Yea it should be fine...the arch area might have an issue with a stock rav4

[@audreycasarez1328]

Is your Tacoma 2wd? Just wondering cause I have a ford 2wd so want to know if I can do these trails with it

[@Michael_Tran]

I did all these trails in my 2WD Tacoma...now I have a 4x4...so all my newer videos have been with my 4x4 Tacoma

[@calvarycustoms6681]

Sad to say, #3 (Alder Creek) is now closed due to the brush fire started by an idiot pyromaniac. It’ll be a long time before anything in this area will be reopened.

[@4x2WagonFamily]

Thanks for sharing. I’m gonna try these Trail later this year when it cools down.

[@Michael_Tran]

Definitely when it's cooler

[@maricelarooper9558]

Awesome video. Thanx. Will be going to Joshua tree soon. Is there a road you can recommend for a older couple with no experience of off roading. Would like to see something off road. Thank you

[@Michael_Tran]

I honestly don't recommend going alone if it's your first time off roading but old dale road before the rocky section is all just a dirt road...easy to do

[@FFVIIMASTER22]

Good video man. I would highly recommend airing down your tires even on easy trails. It makes a huge difference on the ride comfort and it is easier on your vehicle. I have tried a few trails and picked a few more to finally go and explore. Keep up the good work

[@MTBGoon]

How much do you recommend airing down for a 2wd for this trail? I've read 20 psi or this too low.

[@marcJoel]

20 is good I usually go 18

[@itchydragon]

Great video dude. I just got a new Subaru Forester Wilderness and I will definitely have to check out a few of these trails to test out the off road capabilities of my new ride.

[@Michael_Tran]

Glad it was helpful man...these trails are all relatively easy with an AWD as well...just depend if you gonna do the off shoots

[@LWRC]

Great camera work especially the drone shots!!! Very well done!! More trails in SoCal please!!

[@Michael_Tran]

Thank you

[@fantasticmike946]

I went to Rainbow Basin last year during veterans day, after watching this video. It was awesome!!! Doing the next trail in fall.

[@Michael_Tran]

Nice! Glad this video is helpful. Hopefully you can see more trails

[@hamandacheese]

Do you have a lift on your truck? Great videos by the way!

[@Michael_Tran]

yes bilstein 5100s

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

these are some cool spots for newbies like me! I'm definitely gonna spending some money on gas!!!!!! another cool video!

[@Michael_Tran]

Definitely check them out...it's some fun trail that not too bad in 2wd

[@ronken]

I’m a noob myself. Let me know if you’re going to check out any of these trails. I’m down to meet.

[@glennferrer6349]

Just watching this video definitely made me realized that I haven’t scratched the surface yet being out there hahah. Awesome man thanks 😎🤘🏽

[@Michael_Tran]

Haha...for sure, there's so many trails out there. Thanks for the support!

[@OverlandPNW]

Nice trails! Love the drone footage !

[@Michael_Tran]

Thank you, not a cool video until I get the drone up haha

[@lannyandroxanneadvantures2546]

Thanks for sharing these places. We are from Central California and we need some different camping and wheeling destinations

[@Michael_Tran]

No problem..glad it was helpful.

[@El_drewskii]

video should have been titled "5+ easy off-roading trails around LA"

[@maxter3326]

Bought 2021 4runner trd off-road, wanting to try it out. Never been off-roading, more of a hiker myself, something new to try out going trails with your car.

[@Michael_Tran]

It's definitely a different feeling...I had a motorbike before and I miss riding it. But definitely can carry a lot more gears to have fun

[@ADAMCLEANOUTS]

Who is down to go , lets go guys

[@Chris_Kwon_Do]

I really need some friends I can off road with. I tackle these alone sometimes and it's sketch

[@Paiadakine]

Find a Jeep club. Always a good idea to off-road with someone. Chit happens.

[@cjohnny8041]

Do you need a permit or pay a fee to go on this trails And how you go about it

[@Michael_Tran]

I don't think so...but I haven't seen any infos on it.

[@cjohnny8041]

2019 limited 4runner with stock tire all season tire is ok or should i get all-terrain tire

[@Michael_Tran]

@@cjohnny8041 4x4 or 2wd?

[@ericwilkins4945]

Did you do all of these trails in 2WD?

[@Michael_Tran]

Yes, no locker

[@filmart430]

Those trails look like only one vehicle fit. Do each trail loop back to where you started? I see video of at least 4-8 cars in a row on the same trail. Do each one have to reverse ?🤷‍♂️

[@adelcamac8681]

Thanks 😊 God Bless you.!

[@erickennedy9487]

I would like to know what dove springs to lake Isabella like?

[@xXB.FunkXx]

Looks like a great option for 2wd trucks to get into nature. Good work and filming bro!

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...that was what it was all about. There's a lot of trail that can be done in 2WD and have fun around SoCal

[@overlandfun]

Thanks for the video - do you have a group online that organizes off road trips?

[@mikemontoya8723]

Awesome video ! How Often do you get out these type of trails . Would love to tag along , I have a SR5 4x4 tundra stock

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...I try to go at least 2 times a month, nothing too crazy...theirs a few group on FB that does trails similar to these that I follow.

[@mikemontoya8723]

Thanks for the video, I have a bone stock Mall Princess GX 470 and I sub'd.

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...the GX 470 is beautiful.

[@njg03tj7]

Nice video. Not a big fan of showing the locations of places. I’ve been hitting the dirt for over 30 years. Invite some in person. But I never tell anyone else where. Kind of like telling someone about your fishing spot. Digging through maps, asking around and just straight out exploring is part of it.

[@Michael_Tran]

I totally understand not sharing locations and respect people that want to do that, while this video does show locations. Most of the trails I've shown on social media are trails that are on most off roading maps and apps like all trails, onxoffroad and trailsoffroad. My reason is to help those that just got into off roading not get lost. I've had that happen to myself a few times and can get dangerous if you go down the wrong path.

[@devon96g]

Bro have you ever been to bald mountain in northern Cali ?

[@Michael_Tran]

No I haven't heard about that mountain...where is it exactly?

[@adam1276]

Incredible footage. Does your drone automatically follow you while you drive or do you have to have someone operate it for you while you are driving?

[@Michael_Tran]

Most of the time, my wife would be driving and im flying the drone, but I also use the follow me mode in the drone as well.

[@dannnny4]

Great video. and awesome footage and information. looking exactly for trails like this but I'm from San Diego and haven't had the time to explore up north more. thank you

[@Michael_Tran]

I need to go south more haha, only been to Anza Borrego for some camping and some off roading. Some good trails there

[@sako247]

Do you air down on these easy trails? Great videos

[@WilcoxTodd-t3t]

White Crossing

[@ronny7146]

Do you need to airdown on this trails?

[@Michael_Tran]

It would be a good idea for comfort to air down a bit.

[@martinrocha3265]

Just picked up a Taco TRD OFF Road, can I take it stock or would you recommend any upgrades before trying them? Or which ones would you recommend for stock.

[@Michael_Tran]

I think any off road 4x4 should be fine on these trails...but I recommend tires as the first upgrade.

[@randywelch2393]

This looks just like offloading. Where are you "overlanding" on this continent?

[@Michael_Tran]

Look at my 5 overlanding areas in SoCal video

[@DewarEric-g6f]

Williamson Expressway

[@sbadolian]

Nice video new subscriber. Could you recommend a nice easy trail that would get me to a high mountain peak with a 2 Wheel Dr. truck

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...if you're in Orange County. Santiago Peak is the best with the view and easy to do.

[@eddiecasas1202]

Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to try them out

[@OverCookedRice]

Can I take my stock 2021 subaru Forester with AT tires on these trails? I have around 8.7" ground clearance.

[@Michael_Tran]

I think the main trail is fine...some of the offshoot you'll encounter might be a challenge but ill be fun.

[@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531]

All excellent trails for a built jeep to a stock Suburu! ✌️

[@Michael_Tran]

I agree...any jeep can tackle these trails

[@rororin17]

How about a stock 21 WRX? Haha. I’m trying to look at places where I can have fun with it on dirt paths.

how did the Subarus do in your videos? My daughter has a crosstrek, I'm not worried about me I have 2019 Ranger Fx4, but I want her to have a good time and not have to worry about it

Most of these trail it think it would be fine if you don't do the offshoots. Bring a shovel or traction board just in case, but overall it's pretty easy.
