depends on where you are located, there is holy jim trail in irvine area its pretty easy theres a few obstacles there but for the most part its pretty easy 2wd stuff

theres el toro road in lake elsinore it has some pretty fun roads mostly 2wd but 4wd needed depending on where you go theres some sketchy roads there too.. i mostly go with my friend there at night its alot funner when you cant see that well

Do your research of what trails are around as there are quite a few in the big-bear area, john bull, gold mountain, Holcomb creek, dishpan springs etc. and most of those up there begin close to where another one ends.

Cougar buttes is pretty cool too. A lot of trails and cool lines for any type of vehicle.
