WHAT TO EXPECT
The Mojave Road is the original wagon route between the Colorado River and the central California desert — a two-day overland trip in 1860 and an honest two-and-a-half-day trip today if you stop to actually see anything. We're stretching it to four days because we want to do it right.
This is a moderate run: most of it is graded dirt, but there are sections of soft sand, two short rocky pinch-points, and a creek crossing at Afton that's running this year. Lockers aren't required but recovery gear is. If you've never aired down on sand before, ask in the group chat — we'll show you on day one.
Two nights of dispersed camping (Marl Springs, Soda Lake), one in a developed BLM site at Afton. Bring water for four days; refill points are unreliable.
