During our 7+ years of full time rv living and traveling we’ve passed through the Vegas area several times. There is really great mountain biking on the outskirts by Red Rock Canyon and we rode there a couple more...
Ridgecrest Mountain Biking
For being kind of remote, the trails at Rademacher Hills in Ridgecrest are fantastic. It’s pretty much just a locals thing and we found excellent riding that isn’t even on Trailforks. We’ve ridden here once before and it was...
Eureka Peak Ride
Derek and I rode a version of this back when we were in Joshua Tree in 2021. That version was 22.5 miles with 2300′ of climbing. We remembered the start to be pretty sandy so we drove in further...

There are some amazing remote gravel/rock road rides in the Canyonlands area. We rode Elephant Hill Road the other day and I blogged about it here. This time we decided to explore Lockhart Basin Road, the back road to...
Elephant Hill Ride to Confluence Overlook
Elephant Hill Road in Canyonlands is no joke. It’s a high clearance 4X4 dirt/gravel/sand/sheer rock road that goes into the remote backcountry. We decided to mountain bike it so we could get out to the Colorado River/Green River Confluence...
