Hollister is less than an hour away from San José, that’s as close as you will get and it’s as much fun as you can have without going all the way to the sierras.

Contact Rightseatsis. Mary took her stock XJ on some trails a little further south than Hollister Hills while geocaching. She went in spring and had a few wet crossings and mud holes to cross.

hollister is great fun & there are various trails there from easy to very tough. the obstacle courses are a blast!

Hollister has some really fun flex spots, and some good easy trails. 7 out of 10 trails can be done by mild rigs.

It's the first place I really wheeled!
