FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Where to go this weekend?

I want to go off-road camping with a buddy this weekend in the sierra/eldorado area. As of right now, Barney Riley is not accessible from 89 and the area esty went to on the other side of Yosemite is also unreachable. Any ideas? Something like those two areas. I want to leave 6am Sat and come back by 5pm Sunday.

Thanks

Hey Bz, I can't make Hollister this weekend. My folks are visiting their grandkids... Oh yeah, visiting us too.

I believe all dirt roads in the El Dorado NF are closed to vehicles, due to the seasonal closure. I would check with a Ranger station in that area to confirm. If you are traveling with two or more vehicles, snow wheeling can be very fun and challenging. Provided you are prepared but if your only going in one rig I would look else where to wheel. OHV trails along I-80 are open but there will be snow. Boreal ski resort got about 5 feet of fresh snow this past weekend. Boreal is roughly at about 7000FT.I will be headed that way this coming Sunday as well to go find some snow for the wife and dog to play in.
