4 wheeling in the desert

1st--I did not know where to place this thead (Entertainment? Kitchen Sink?) Decided more people read this area.

2nd--I know nothing. Seems like it would be fun and interesting.

Can anyone just take off anywhere? Never see anyone our in the desert but also never see signs saying you can't.

Getting a little long in the tooth for those little go cart like 4 wheelers. Do not see many dune buggies since anymore. I assume that is due to the safty requirements that are now required on anything street legal.

Would you harm a 4 wheel drive pickup or SUV going exploring in the desert?

What do you know that I don't?

BTW As a young guy I had a lot of fun jumping dirt bikes in southern CA.

We took a trip to the Mojave Preserve a few years ago. We took our jeep out on some of the 4-wheel drive trails there. It is important to stay on designated trail and not tear up undisturbed areas. Check with the BLM office in Las Vegas. I know there are sections of the Old Spanish Trail out by the Valley of Fire that are 4 wheel drive accessable.
