Off Highway trails near Blythe/Colorado river?

[RyanEJ25]

Hey guys I tried searching but couldn't find anything so forgive if this is the millionth thread about this. The wife and I are doing a last second trip to the river this weekend and we want to go down some off highway trails and have some fun. My 4Runner has only been a mall crawler for her first 4k miles :sobbing::behindsofa:. I have found some trails online at trails.com like the Sand Bowl and the Milpitas Wash Trail which seems pretty long at 30 miles. I will be coming down the 10 fwy to the 95 North up to the water wheel resort so any recommendations would be appreciated. And possible directions Im not sure if there are big visible signs or not? Thanks for your input!

BTW I do have 4X4

There are all kinds of trails near Bullhead City (most are old mining trails). I used to live there when I was a teacher, and my mother's former boyfriend (passed away) had a majorly modified 1978 FJ40 that I would go off-roading in with him.

I ended up going to the Wiley Well trail. It was a lot of fun. Nothing crazy but the Wife and little guy really liked it.I will embarrassingly admit I got stuck on a small hill of soft dirt and put it in 4Lo to pull out lol. Below are a few pics I took. My camera died from the River so only my good ol Nexus 6 was charged. Onto the pics:


I like white and black incase you cant tell hahaha

I personally think the HIDs are too blue even though they are 4500k.

For what it's worth, if you were able to pull out by just shifting gears then you weren't "stuck". Stuck is when you have to get out and use some other device (shovel, winch, etc.) to get moving again.

The list of trails earlier is a good one. Add in Corn Springs.

For just a little off-the-beaten-path, there are hundreds of miles of gas, power-line, and aqueduct access roads crisscrossing the desert.
