Miller Jeep Trail (Lockwood Creek Trail) - Frazier Park, CA
Tucked in the mountains north of Los Angeles, Miller Jeep Trail is one of those legendary trails that every SoCal wheeler just has to do. The trail has seen its share of fire and floods, and I can only imagine how stunning it was back in the day. As it is now, the trail affords some amazing views and a few challenging spots. What was previously known as the Miller Jeep Trail is now two connecting trails; Lockwood Creek and Miller. There used to be a Lockwood Creek Trail that actually followed the creek, but it was closed and the name got transferred over to fool folks into not looking for it. The trail still crosses the creek multiple times, which is always fun. I would consider this a moderate trail; there are some traction issues and the trail is very steep in some sections, in addition to a few rock obstacles. To my knowledge, you can only go on this trail from May through November (or first snowfall). This trip was with Zen Jeepers, once again. They really are a great group.

Do you need lockers to do this trail?

There are a couple spots where lockers would be helpful, especially for a less experienced wheeler, or if the trail is muddy, but they aren’t necessary.
Great Video! What is the camp where the video ends? And what is the trail like from that point to Hungry Valley if you went that far? Dennis C.

Thanks! I believe it is called Dutchman Campground. The road to get there is graded dirt and doesn't require 4wd. It is long and twisty though. It is Gold Hill Road coming out of Hungry Valley and I believe that there are signs along the route for Alamo Mountain.
Beautiful video… do you think an AWD CRV can make it? Running AT. Looks so much fun.

Thank you! I feel like the rocks at 29:00 and 33:00 would be incredibly challenging for a CRV. That's not to say it couldn't be done. Does the vehicle have extra clearance other than larger tires?

@@trailsfromthedash Thanks for your reply... No lift, stock height with larger tires. about 6 inch clearance. Are there other trails? If i decide to turn back around is it easy to do? and lastly is it a one way trail?

It is not a one way trail and you could definitely turn around. The campsite around 21:00 is just past where the two trails meet and is about 10+ miles in. It is actually common for people to go that far and then turn around and go back. I can't really comment on other trails in the area, as I haven't been on many. There are none that you would want to go on that connect to this one though.

@@trailsfromthedash thank you again for your response. I appreciate the information. I’m going to check it out tomorrow. I hope I can make it to the campsite at least and turn back around 😁 I will reply with my experience when I get back.

@@fernandomartinezreyna1836 Wait! I obviously forgot to mention that this trail is closed in the winter! I'm sorry, but you'll probably need to wait a few months to try it. Feel free to check with the Los Padres Forest rangers to be sure.
