Right off the 5, near Gorman. About 40 minutes north of Santa Clarita.


Miller Jeep Trail is just above HV.

Hey Hotpants, your new name reminds me of the TV series M.A.S.H., the only thing that comes to mind is that FEMALE nurse

I don't think you'll find MJT that challenging, it's more like the moderate trails up in BIGBEAR......

Hey I think think I'll make this one.....haven't really gotten to use my locker lately since Big Bear. I'll make sure to have more sand-bags in the back end this time (thanks Adam )
I'll talk to my boss on Saturday and find out for sure if I can get that day off.

the point of this thread wasn't to get a trail run at MJT necessarily, but a trail run for us socal folk in september. my first thought was just MJT.

big bear is a possibility. casey and i both want a challenge. what do y'all think?

I'm not quite sure what to think of this...

i would actually rather hit big bear, after seeing those photos, i really regret missing the last run.
quick question though, will i be able to do all the hard stuff with just my rear locker? or are dual lockers necessary?

This is the only spot where I felt a front locker would have helped me-

Everything else I did that weekend was fine w/out it, I only used the rear locker on a few of the tougher spots. That spot was actually optional, there was an alternate route to the left of where I'm at.

I'm getting the impression that this place has a lot of alternate routes to get where we need to go. I think you can just look at others do something first and then decide if your truck will make it with the stock bumper.
I say dont worry about it, you will be able to get through.

Big Bear is in the San Bernadino Mtns. If you're in Santa Barbara it'll be over 2 hours drive south for you.

i hoping for good ol fashioned yt trail run with good turnout. so if more people can make it sat, let it be saturday.

this time tho, i/we want hard trails. one where i can actually use my sliders. i don't want difficulty for difficult's sake, but cause it's high time.

george, when are we hitting up last chance canyon?
