Pick your line.

Three kinds of weekends, each demanding a different balance of range, clearance, and self-reliance.

01 / DESERT

Mojave Tracks

2–3 daysModerate

Wide horizons, old mining roads, sharp rock, and long distances between fuel stops.

02 / MOUNTAIN

High Country

3–4 daysTechnical

Slow climbs, changing weather, tight switchbacks, and camps above the tree line.

03 / FOREST

Pine & River

WeekendEasy

Shaded forest roads, dispersed camps, creek crossings, and a softer first trip.
