Overview

This bypass road is a viable alternative should the nearby section of Mojave Road be closed due to erosion. The bypass here is an adventurous four-wheel drive route that takes you deep into seldom seen areas within the Mojave National Preserve. There are portions of this route that are highly vegetated while meandering through a wash with plenty of Creosote, Yucca, and Cholla plants to make for an ever-changing foreground as you make way back to the Lanfair Valley and the main Mojave Road.
