Crucero Road

Just north of Ludlow, Crucero Road is a remote desert road that dives deep into the vast expanse of the Mojave Desert. Following the path of the long-abandoned Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad, this sandy and rugged road offers a unique blend of history, isolation, and stark desert beauty. Drivers will traverse dry lake beds, skirt around ancient lava flows, and discover remnants of long-forgotten sidings and mysterious objects that dot this desert landscape. Along the way, keep an eye out for rusted railroad artifacts, old rail beds, and the haunting stillness that defines this part of the Mojave.
