Desert
Spend 2 days 4-wheeling in the desert and 1 night camping in the desert. We will visit portions of the Mojave Desert about 90 miles east of Los Angles. The desert is a varied landscape for off-highway vehicle drivers. The area is punctuated by steep red rocky, mountains, rolling hills, open valleys, dry lake beds and sandy washes. Elevations range from about 1,300 feet to elevation of about 4,600 feet. Vegetation consists of Creosote bush, Yucca, Cholla, Cats Claw, and Joshua trees. The trip can be tailored to meet your requirements from mild scenic desert trails to difficult rock crawling and anything in between. Cell phones work intermittently.
