Looking for advice for my first trip to hollister park ca

[seanshreds]

Hey I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions/advice for my first trip to hollister. You could probably call me some what of a beginner when it comes to off roading but I have been through some intense situations so I'm not a complete noob. I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions for some fun beginner trails for my 1-2 day trip on the way to Santa Cruz. I was also wondering what kind of passes or fees will apply? Any suggestions/feedback is well appreciated!

5 dollar entry, whole place is build like a maze, 2 obstacle parks, rest of the place is just trails, place is usually dusty and loose, just stay out of the tank trap and you'll be all good, no need for sliders and stock skid will do.

t4r4life pretty much summed it up. Get a map at the ranger station where you pay. It helps out a lot. Please stay away from the big mud pits as well. They are deceivingly deep and very sticky. You will get stuck. The top of hollister (Can't remember the trail name) is a nice place to eat lunch.

Also, let me know if you need any suggestions (non-wheeling) for your stay in Santa Cruz.

Thanks both of you, that helps a lot. And thanks SCRunner12 but I will be staying with a friend in Santa Cruz so Im good with that. All in all, my car is pretty much stock with all terrain tires so I will be avoiding mud pits for sure. Also is there overnight camping there?
