Beginning of October, my friends and I are planning a week long trip to Mammoth.
Jeep JL (38s)
Jeep JT (33s)
Heel JL (33s)
Toyota 4runner (33s)
Toyota Prado (33s)

So offroad trails are sort of limited.

Any cool trails I should check out?
We have no idea where to go haha! We usually just drive and drive and drive, til it's dark and setup the tents, but would be nice to see some awesome views and mild difficulty trails.

Check out Bodie Ghost town, and there is dispersed camping along the Bodie Masonic Road. A couple of cool spots at the north end too.

You all should be able to get up Copper Mountain and camp near the top too.

There are quite a few roads out there and such that you'll all be fine. The area south of Mono Lake has a ton of stuff too.

If you do a search on here for those places, you might find .gpx files with some way points.

I'll have to look those up!

I'm not a fan of crowded areas, so the less traveled the better.

I'm hoping for some medium to difficult trails, even some technical trails.
I want to do Rubicon trail, but my friends cannot go on that trail in their rigs for sure.
