Mojave Road

Filled with oddities, scenic beauty, history, and a sense of adventure, it is no wonder that the Mojave Road has such an iconic stature. Formed as an early Native American trade route and then an east-west passage for settlers, the road has a long and storied history. Passing through the Mojave National Preserve, Mojave Trails National Monument, and the Lanfair Valley, you are remote and far from civilization. Today it is one of the more famous overland routes in the southwest. Although the road is not at all technical, the sense of adventure you get by being so deep in the desert is what makes it worth the trip.
