Off-roading Near the City of Angels!

I never knew there were so many off-roading trails so close to the city of Los Angeles. On a recent trip to the area, I decided to take my Mercedes Sprinter-based Storyteller Overland van on some of these roads.

First, we took an easy and leisurely drive up Liebre Mountain. Then we tackled the more challenging trail up Grass Mountain, where the eroded path turned my van into a tripod plenty of times. But the end result was totally worth it! It's hard to believe you can find such wilderness and stunning views so close to Los Angeles. The best part is, we saw many more trails on the map, so we will definitely be back to explore them further.
