The Red Canyon Jeep Trail is one of my favorites. You get some great views, a good mix of terrain (although fairly easy), it can be a long day trip or an easy overnighter, and there are a number of more challenging off-shoot trails to explore from the bridge area.

What are your favorite easy to moderate trails in the SoCal area?

I love Cleghorn & Pilot Rock but looking to find more options.
I was actually going to ask for some recommendations myself. Mrs Spaze isn't up for being shaken to much (yet) and I've never piloted something as big as I have now offroad.

I may or may not have a vide of this pulled up right now. Is there a good place to overnight out that way? I'd assume the bridge can be packed

There are two guys that have YouTube channels that do a lot of stuff in So. Cal. They do a good job of rating & showing what the trails look like. They feature a fair amount of "easy" or "beginner" trails. One is "Trail Recon" & the other is "Not-A-Rubicon". Also, although membership is required to go on the web-site and get a detailed description along with pics and a downloadable KLM or GPX file and map, "Trails Offroad" also does a good job of doing the same.
