Taking Stock Of The Backcountry, Four-Wheeler Style
Arguably, some of the best country in the world for roaming about in four wheel drive vehicles is going to be at the western edge of the United States. Here are plenty of wide open spaces, and rugged terrain, that the off roader craves and crawls over. Specifically, the region from the California coast to the Arizona desert offers some spectacular scenery for the serious off road enthusiast.
California is home to the majestic Sierra Nevada range, and here one can find some extreme opportunities for the road less traveled. The state also offers the largest network of maintained off highway trails in the San Bernardino National Forest, for the safer set. All mountain ranges here offer incredible diversity and beauty, and are easily accessible form the main routes through the area.
To the east, both sides of the Colorado River are surrounded by desert, and here is ample room to roam. There are old mining ruins and ghost towns, and geological formations that are astounding. And the always impressive Grand Canyon is nearby, too, so whatever is wanted in for a four wheeling excursion will be found in this particular region. From the rarely traveled extreme trails for the brave, to easier trails through safer scenery, this area can be seen as a four wheel drive playground for any and all enthusiasts.
