those look like some fun trails. where is johnson valley? I dont know southern california too well. I live in vegas now so i wont really be wheeling nor cal as much anymore so i need to find some good trails in my area.
From Las Vegas you would take I-15 south to Barstow, then Hwy 247 south to Lucerne Valley and follow my directions above from there. Probably 3.5 to 4 hours from Las Vegas, depending upon how fast you drive.
Go to Google local and search for Johnson Valley, CA and it will pull up the general area.
There are some very active wheelers in Las Vegas. Roc Doc on the Pirate BB comes to mind, as does Vegas Valley 4Wheelers (
