Ive been into off roading for about 7 years of my 20 year life. I live in huntington beach, california. My top 5  off-roading places within reasonably traveling distance would be...

1. - Ocotillo Wells,  (a bit past temecula)
      huge place, many places to explore, really fun on a big weekend, you get to see some sick trucks/ buggies  i always go on halloween

2. Glamis - Gotta love the dunes
3.  Dumont -   Same as above, dunes are really fun
4. Stoddar Wells - Pretty fun place, kind of rocky enviroment, i got 5 flats in one weekend, tears tires up, MDR makes appearances here monthly, fun to watch
5. Hungry Valley - its in gormon, not huge but definetly fun and quite close to LA

Living just below the cajon pass, stoddard wells is close and i go ridding out there often. but as far as wheeln' i havn't done too much out there but the rocks are hard on your tires.
Even closer to home is Cleghorn ridge just off the i-15.The trail straight through is just under 30 miles long and runs from the cleghorn exit off of the 15 to lake silverwood. It's an easy trail if you just go straight through, but there are lots of other trails back there that get really hairy. i havn't explored the entire area but i have seen some great pics and have had some great expeiences up there myself.

the trails north of big bear lake are also incredible. With trails ranging from "I coulda brought the Honda Civic" to "I'll try that next time"
you are bound to have a blast. if html was allowed here i would post pics and short videos.

ocotillo has all aspects, sand, harder sand, rocks ( not very bad though) Overall Ocotillo Wells is my favorite place, so much different terrain and its HUGE so you never run out of stuff to do. And on big weekends its packed, blow sand goes off and you see a lot of cool trucks and buggies.
