Trail Karma: The Mojave Road

Explore and donate to this high-clearance California trail

The Mojave Road is a historic route traversing California’s Mojave Desert, rich in history and adventure. Originating as a Native American trade path, it was later utilized by Spanish explorers, American settlers, and the military, playing a pivotal role in westward expansion. Today, the Mojave Road is a celebrated off-road trail for enthusiasts seeking a blend of history and desert landscapes. The journey typically takes about three days, offering opportunities for undeveloped camping along the way.
