We’ve spent a few weeks in Death Valley over our years on the road since it’s warm in the winter. So we’ve already done a lot of what there is to do in the area. This two week stay...
Fall Canyon Hike
Fall Canyon hike in Death Valley National Park is a doozy. It’s pretty remote, located in the far northern section of the park. While the parking lot can be busy because it shares with the Titus Canyon parking area,...
Cowboy Trails Ride
After the small snowfall in the mountains east of Vegas, we waited a few days for the trails to dry out. We still got muddy. The Cowboy Trails aren’t new to us, we rode her back in one of...
Red Rock Canyon Hike
The mountains above Vegas got a quick snowfall that really highlighted the colors and textures in the canyons. We hiked a challenging loop out into Red Rock Canyon State Park. This loop is not maintained and dives directly into...
Late Night Trails Ride
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...
China Ranch Date Farm

Middle Oak Creek Hike
Winter boondocking is all about stalling out in warmer areas and chasing sun. We run off solar so it’s important to have sun! After consulting weather apps we made a decision. Two weeks outside Vegas lets us get some...

Walker Pass PCT Hike
I think everyone knows of the2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) that runs from Canada to Mexico. We hiked just a small day hike from Walker Pass near Ridgecrest, CA as an out and back one day. During the...
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...
