Hey everybody, Fox is looking to do a trail ride photo shoot with some epic scenery as a backdrop. Our lead photographer is an avid camper/hiker (and a Tacoma guy) and has come to me for some additional location input. His first suggestion was the Coyote Flats area - some serious elevation with peaks in the background, massive grass valleys, glaciers, trees - the area seems to have it all.
We're looking for some additional location options to throw around, and hopefully find something a bit closer to southern California (although not necessary). The only limitation is that it needs to be within driving distance of Orange County. I mentioned Big Bear, but we've done that before, as has the rest of the MX industry. We also discussed Laurel Lakes, Idyllwild, Kern Valley...
I know that you guys can come up with some additional options - where have you been that would make an epic backdrop to a motocross trail ride photo shoot?

Thanks for the help!
