Active Pursuits in Mojave National Preserve

Biking -- Opportunities are as extensive as the preserve's hundreds of miles of lonesome dirt roads. The 140-mile-long historic Mojave Road, a rough four-wheel-drive route, crosses the preserve east to west and visits many of the most scenic areas in the East Mojave; sections of this road make excellent bike tours, but you'll definitely need a mountain bike. Prepare well -- the Mojave's dirt roads are rugged routes surrounded by miles of desert wilderness. There are no bike rentals in the park.
