Off-roading may not be the sport of kings, but it’s a whole lot of fun for those of us who don’t

mind getting a little dirty. In fact, here at North Hollywood Toyota, we encourage buyers of

the new 2016 Toyota Tacoma to venture with their new rides off the beaten path. We don’t

give our trucks their legendary TRD Off-Road capabilities for nothing, after all.

So where should daredevils and other adventurous types

go for some off-roading fun in the LA area? Don’t worry,

we’ve got you covered. Read on to discover our list of the

best off-roading sites in and around Los Angeles.

Marian Campground, which sits

6,600 feet above sea level and

overlooks the central valley,

makes a great basecamp for a

weekend of off-roading. This

five-site remote campground

features ATV trails, 4x4

accessible lookouts with

beautiful views, and plenty of

open road and sparse pine

forests for driving. Marian

Campground is located off Mil

Potero Highway, to the west of

the Pine Mountain Club.

If sand is more your style, the Oceano Dunes SVRA offers 3,600 acres of open

dunes that are perfect for off-roading. Located just south of Pismo Beach, this

sandy expanse has open stretches that are perfect for beginners and experienced

off-roaders alike.

The Joshua Tree National Park isn’t just home to some of

California’s most stunning desert scenery – it’s also full of 4x4

trails and perfect off-roading spots for experienced drivers.

Given Joshua Tree’s remote location and sometimes difficult

terrain, it may not be a good starting place. But for the

experienced (and well provisioned), it’s off-roading heaven.

Straddling Los Angeles and

Ventura counties, Hungry

Valley offers a variety of

perfect off-roading terrain,

including sand washes and

steep climbs. Encompassing

nearly 130 miles of open

land near the Angeles and

Los Padres national forests,

off-roaders are sure to find

the challenges of their

choice somewhere in the

Hungry Valley.

Surrounding Big Bear

Lake is a plethora of

prime off-roading spots,

perfect for beginners and

advanced off-roaders. If

the forest trails aren’t

your style, the remote

campground at Big Pine

Flat offers a more

secluded and open spot

that’s just made for an

off-roading adventure.

Of course, before you go off-roading you need a vehicle that can handle the ride. The

2016 Toyota Tacoma is the most powerful and fuel efficient Tacoma ever made, and

features the legendary TRD Off-Road toughness that has made the Tacoma a favorite

among adventurous drivers.
