What we’re about
Hello fellow Valley Jeepsters!!! Are you looking to have fun adventures with your Jeep? We are a group of family friendly off-road enthusiasts who love rock crawling, scenic desert drives, overlanding, camping and doing everything in between with a Jeep!
We run trails suitable for every type of Jeep, from leisurely desert drives to some of the most challenging trails we can find.
In addition to the local trails, we do 3-to-5-day trips around Arizona and beyond. Want to take your Jeep to the Rubicon Trail, Moab or perhaps the Black Bear Pass in Colorado? Want to ride all the cool Badge of Honor trails? Are you interested in Overlanding? Come join us then!
Although we are a laid-back group, there are couple of rules that you must abide by:
- Our group is for Jeep owners ONLY! Sorry, Bronco IS NOT a Jeep.
- You will be required to sign a liability waiver on the first run you do with us. Off-Roading, like all sports have inherent risks and dangers. All participants (on behalf of him or herself and his/her minor children) are responsible for their own safety during events, voluntarily accepts any and all risks of injury, harm, medical conditions, or property damage
- This is a family friendly group. As such, recreational shooting is not allowed while on the trail with us.
- Don’t drink & drive. Having a beer at lunch is OK. Getting wasted on the trails not only endangers you but everyone else around you.
- Getting a flat tire on the trail is very common! Make sure to always carry a spare.
- When on the trail always remember to T.R.E.A.D. Lightly
- Travel and recreate with minimal impact.
- Respect the environment and the rights of others.
- Educate yourself, plan and prepare before you go.
- Allow for future use of the outdoors, leave it better than you found it.
- Discover the rewards of responsible recreation.
If you can abide by the rules above, then click the join link and we’ll see you on the trail.

Anza-Borrego Overland Adventure
Agua Caliente County Park Campground, 39555 Great Southern Overland Stage Route of 1849, Julian, CA, USJoin us for an unforgettable Valley Jeepsters Adventure in the stunning Anza-Borrego Desert of California! We’ll be tackling scenic trails, exploring unique desert landscapes, and enjoying off-road camaraderie under wide-open skies. Whether you're a seasoned rock crawler or just looking to explore the backcountry with fellow Valley Jeepsters, this trip promises epic views, challenging terrain, and plenty of good times. Pack your gear, bring plenty of water, and let’s make some memories in one of SoCal’s most iconic off-road destinations!
Anza Borrego is phenomenal this time of the year. The scenery includes sandy washes, narrow canyons with steep walls, mud caves, and sweeping vistas. The average daytime temperatures are in mid-70’s, and the wildflower season is March-April. We’ll be traversing many sandy trails with a few moderately challenging obstacles. For those interested and only if time permits, we will conquer BoH Pinyon Mountain Road.
If you are carrying, please make sure you familiarize yourself with all the related California laws pertaining to this subject!!!
The trails we’ll be traversing can be conquered in a stock Jeep with offroad tires. Pinyon Mountain optional trail is level five and would require 2+ inch lift and at least one locker.
LODGING:
We will be camping at the Agua Caliente County Park Campground arriving Thursday March 26th and departing Sunday March 29th. Please make your reservation ASAP as these tend to fill up quickly. Cancelations can be made up to 72 hours in advance with only $8 penalty fee. RV spots, tent campsites and cabins are available for reservations. Thermal swimming pools are open on the weekends – so bring you swimsuit. There are also pay showers. It can be windy at the campground - make sure you avoid sites 127-130. The less windy tent sites are south of Agua Caliente Campground Road. The great view sites for an RV with full hook-up are 97-104. There is limited food to be purchased near the campground and there are no restaurants. Bring firewood and groceries.
We will be off-roading on Sunday during the day so it may make sense to make a reservation for Sunday night if you want to spend an extra night there. Russ and Alan have booked RV spots #99 and #100 respectively. You can make RV and tent camping reservations online via the link below:

Please only sign up if you are committed to the trip. We know life happens, but don’t take a spot with the idea that I might like to go and I’ll decide later.
