With the drive from Gilroy, you might want to make a weekend out of it. The Dinkey Creek, Huntington Lake, and Shaver Lake areas are very close together and you could probably do at least two of the easier trails in a day.Is that a weekend deal, or a one-long-day type of thing?

I went to these trails last summer. Brewer Lake trail is great for a novice, i did it stock.With the drive from Gilroy, you might want to make a weekend out of it.

I've been wheeling that area for the last couple of years. I ran Bald Mountain when the TJ was stock. I also did it in 4 ft of snow. Last summer I ran Red/Coyote Lake with Cal4wd. The second half of that trail is a blast!. The first or second weekend of June I'm planning on running the Swamp Lake Trail with my brother and his YJ. It is a beautiful area and the wheeling can't be beat. Some of the trails are just as challenging and scenic as the Rubicon but there aren't any crowds.:shhh:With the drive from Gilroy, you might want to make a weekend out of it.
