Default Stock vehicle friendly trails?

I'm looking for trails that are suited for a stock vehicle. I don't need rock gardens or huge mud holes. Just decent fire roads or whatever. Looking for suggestions around here or within an hour's drive or so. Mine is stock and will probably stay that way for at least the rest of this year.

I have heard of Bobblets Gap, but haven't tried it yet. Any other suggestions?

I used to take my Xterra out to Broad Run down 311 when I got really bored some nights and when I didn't want to get in too much trouble without a way out if I got stuck!

I'm sure he does. From what I've heard much of Poor Mountain isn't suitable for a stock vehicle. Never been there myself though...

12 O'Clock Knob? That road is fun as hell on the 221 side, and fun but super crowned and sketch on the Salem side. Fun road though!

We ride that on our bikes. We do a ride called "3 peaks" where we do Sugar Loaf, Mt. Chestnut, and 12 O'Clock Knob.
