FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Pismo Beach Trails

I am planning a three day camping trip out to Pismo Beach with my wife 7/30 to 8/1 and was wondering if any of you know any good trails on the way down there (I will be leaving from San Francisco). I looked up a few in the area down there but it is hard to get a good idea of the intensity of the trails from the sites I found them on. Here is what I am looking for:

- nothing too hard or crazy. I have a stock FJ (with the offroad package) with no trail riding experience.

- I dont want a dirt road though. I am looking for something that is an ideal place for a beginner to test out the various functions (A-Trac, Rear diff Lock, that sort of thing)

- Something that would be good to go solo. I don't have anyone coming with so I dont want something that i would get stuck and be screwed.

Anyway, thanks for the help in advance. Also, if anyone will be in the area that weekend, I would love to meet up with some fellow NorCal-ers.

Thanks,

Kyle

Ya i saw all of those trails on trails.com. It has some decent reviews but it doesnt really tell you how intense they are. For example they will give a trail a difficult rating but then say that a high clearance 4wds are recommended but a two wheel drive high clearance will work. That seems to not make much sense to me haha.

I also was looking into those Big Sur trails, but I want something a little more fun than a dirt fire road! haha. Thanks for the information. It was greatly appreciated!
