Route Details:

While we don’t make the route public, we can tell you that you will drive the most scenic and fun off-road trails in the Mojave Desert. The route is designed to stay away from high traffic areas and rough trails. The route is also laid out to minimise turns and stops to wait for the cars behind. There are a few slower, rough sections, but very little. We recommend a newer UTV with 1000cc or greater. We do have the ability to link up with Ride Command, Garmin and use race radio frequencies to keep track of the group. We stage for the Northern Mojave trips at a ranch near Jawbone Canyon with safe parking. 

Even if you are familiar with the area, we guarantee you will explore areas and trails that you haven’t seen before. The route is adjusted each trip (or day) depending on the skill level/speed of the drivers, breakdowns, weather, etc. Plan on spending from 9:00am to 5:00pm on the trail and drive 100-150 miles per day. Remember, “A True Adventure Is Not Knowing What The Day Has In Store”. We will have dinner and breakfast at the hotels each day and sandwiches or snacks for lunch on the trail. 

Private groups can be arranged with a minimum of 5 cars and a max of 8.
