The Southern California Overland Trail Association is comprised of members of all walks of life, spread throughout the greater Southern California area who share an appreciation for off-roading and the great outdoors.

We are a family-friendly group that welcomes members with any skill-set, and any type of 4 wheel drive vehicle. Our primary objective is to provide an outlet for all of our members to enjoy a safe, rewarding and friendly environment to pursue their off-road adventures in.

Here at SCOTA, we believe that it’s important to give back to the community, and to be mindful of the issues that affect the ability of residents of this great state to enjoy the outdoors. That is why we are strongly involved in activism and supporting land-use causes that keep our trails and wilderness areas open to not only off-roaders, but to campers, hikers, hunters and the like.
