Hollister Hills

Let’s do it!!

 

Going tomorrow morning

 

Fuck, I have work ‍♂️‍♂️

 

I follow Hollister Hills on IG and notice that only Lower Ranch reaches max capacity; it's nice going during the week cause no one is there.

 

Because who doesn't like a soft ride?



Surprised no one was there



Got to enjoy lunch undisturbed



Then hit the other trails and obstacles





Stairs were a bit more slick cause of dirt and mud

 

Can't really get videos if you're the only one there

You need a drone. Go grab the DJI Mini 2. Cheap enough now, small footprint and good for what you'll want it to do.

If you want to save a little and don't care about the latest/greatest - go with the Mini. Costco has it for about 100 bucks less.

Anyone going tomorrow?

 

Went to hollister hills this past Saturday w my brother in law. At the park one of his coolant hoses had a faulty clamp so we had to cut the trip short. To the guy with the gray lifted 2nd gen taco who helped us out, if you’re here sorry I didn’t get your name but thanks again.

 

Got out there today with @Dex__43. I swear the hard copy maps are off. Is there a Gaia version or something similar yall use? Pushed my truck to hard and dented my driveline and now got vibes. I'll figure out how to get it fixed. Lesson learned.

 

I am new to the area. How would HH be in a stock taco?

 

fine in most areas. you can have some fun even on a stock 4x4. Some areas no 4x4 some solid skinny pedal will do most of the time.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info. I definitely want to check it out sometime soon

 

Hell, I did blue trails on a 2 wheel drive.

You'll be fine, everything is marked and there are trails markers as well at each turn.

 

Definitely reassuring. I guess my main concern is damaging a brand new truck but it sounds like I’d be fine.

 

Just assume you will, otherwise don't take it out at all.

I've been out there many times, one time was with a guy that had just bought his new Tacoma and he got a lot of pinstriping. I felt bad but he said he expected it otherwise he wouldn't have gone out with us.

 

For those that don't follow on social media

 

Good point!

 

Not every trail is marked at each intersection. When you are unsure I'd recommend pulling over and walking it a bit. Few times I turned onto the wrong trail and came up to a black diamond obstacle, where backing out/turning around was difficult.

 

@Longboard1110 you working this Thursday? Kids are off school, got family to watch them, and took PTO to go out with my buddy @Dex__43 before he heads back out of state.

@Kwikvette?
@outxider?
