The Mojave River Wash is the final 12 miles on the western side of the historic Mojave Road, connecting Afton Canyon and Manix. It travels along a wide, soft, sandy wash, offering expansive views of the Mojave Desert region. Along the drive, you can expect continuous sandy whoops, deep ruts, and an occasional random rock that could easily take out a tire or differential if you are traveling too fast. There is quicksand along this trail, but the areas they are in have been blocked off, so staying on the marked route is imperative for your safety. This section of the Mojave Road does not offer any camping options, and route finding can be difficult at times. It is suitable for any high clearance vehicle, and airing down is highly recommended due to the sandy terrain.
