Nitmare67 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hey I am looking for some new places to ride. I am mostly a trail type person. I love huge riding areas and trails that never end. I'm just really tired of going to Hollister and I have never liked Carnagie Hills. It would be nice to try some new places so where does everybody else from cali go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitmare67 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I am from Modesto which is about an hour south of Sacramento. I will have to look up a couple of those places listed. I have heard of people going to dogtown before too but never been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollister_Hitman Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Clear creek is the shit for trails. It is about 1 hour 15 minutes south of Hollister. Big nice hill climbs also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitmare67 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I really like the look of clear creek. I just want to go some place new but not drive 4 hours to get there haha. I appreciate all the ideas guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate all the ideas guys. yeah it was strip mined. It is blm property and I think after January first it gonna cost $15 a truck and $10 per bike/quad. You can also buy a year pass for like $80 for one truck and 2 atvs. It is worth checking out. The place is huge compared to Hollister. No store down there though and it is very hard to get cell phone reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitmare67 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Damn huge compared to hollister huh. I am going for sure now! I wonder how long it will take me to get there from Modesto. Have to check it out asap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepmonkey Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 The place outside of Fresno on the way to Yosemite is called Miami Creek. It's on 41 just past Oakhurst. I've also seen an ORV area up in the Modesto area on a road headed towards Yosemite from the northern side. If you're in Modesto, Hollister Hills isn't more then two hours from you.

broncogurl Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Damn huge compared to hollister huh. I am going for sure now! I wonder how long it will take me to get there from Modesto. Have to check it out asap though. Yup. The quad/dirtbike riding area at Hollister Hills is about 2,400 acres and the whole area of Clear Creek is about 76,000 acres. Read here about the fees they are going to start charging to ride at Clear Creek: http://www.blm.gov/content/etc/medialib/bl...heet_111407.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollister_Hitman Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Did you ever go to Clear Creek? Let me know the next time you go to Hollister if you want another banshee to ride with...

HotCarl Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I love that you guys call Hollister Nor Cal. I don't think it could be any more in the MIDDLE of the sate (vertically). That is like me saying anything below San Jose is Los Angles. Is it that you don't want to say mid cal? Or is it that you think the 400 miles north of you is like your hat and doesn't count as part of the state? Ok I put my beer down to type this and now it is getting warm and where the hell did I put the chips SZZwnknmrbsrdyk,li.o;/'op[olikmn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) There is a kick ass place about 30 min past jackson called PiPi valley. It is officially called the gold note trail system i believe. Anyway, there are a bunch of fire roads and small tight trails mostly for bikes, but we ride the quads on them. Lots of fun, and the camping is great. Its up in the forrest, so its pretty cool. anyway, here is the directions they have on thumpertalk. you might want to signup on thumpertalk, as they have a kick ass section called "where to ride" and its broken down by state. My buddy rides at PiPi all the time, and i have been there a few times with him. check it out Directions: * Highway 88 from Jackson - travel east 27 miles, turn left onto Omo Ranch Road, then 0.7 miles to the intersection with North-South Road (Primary Route 6). Proceed down this road 1.8 miles to the intersection with roads 8N59 and 10N83S (Route 33). This is the first access point to Route 33 (Gold Rush). Travel another 0.7 mile to Five Corners from which you can gain access to the north half of Route 33 and also to Route 35 (PiPi Grade) and other parts of the system Oh yeah, i live in ripon, just north of you a few miles, and I can make it there in 90 minutes.
