Thanks for the report, looks like a fantastic route!

Not that I could find.

Thanks for the awesome pictures and write up! This is on my list to do some day!

Gary, Ken and I continued south from Baggs, WY on the north portion of the CO BDR. We went out separate ways today in Buena Vista, CO. The rain the last 2 days meant that we skipped some segments between Weston Pass and town to save the trails I still have to get home, so I won't add anything...

The missing segment 3 months after I completed the above sections of the EMHT, I decided to run the section I skipped, as I had some time on my way to Death Valley. This missing segment starts at the Valley Wells Slag Heap mentioned in post #19, and travelling clockwise ends at Cow Cove north of...

Hi folks. To assist Luinil, I am currently editing my posts in this thread to provide a little better detail. As always, when I read something I composed after >6 months has passed, I find that I could've done a much better job in the editing process! I should be completed with edits within a...

you mean these?

I have the same thoughts about allowing access to the Carrizo stage station area! It is very strange seeing the barely legible (old) signs at the east end, with several very well used roads going past the signs. When approaching from the west, while still in the State Park, it is more clearly...

I was on Steel Pass December 2021, and it was worse than I've ever seen over the last 12+ years. I wouldn't say that all the rough areas change every year, but they do change when there has been significant rainfall, so perhaps every 2-3 years. Bottom line, travel with good spotters if...

Thanks for reposting this Larrie!

How about https://offroadportal.org/ I know nothing about them.

I like your setup! Which panel did you use, and do you have more details of how it's attached?

Awesome! I've used my army green x-bull recovery boards for 3 recoveries in ~4 years: once for me, twice for others. In all cases, the boards were required as the only viable solution, and in two cases, they were paired with a recovery strap (but the boards were still necessary.) If the only...

Sorry I didn't see your post before! I did the complete route, and your GPS tracks were indispensable! I'm sure there would've been many miles of backtracking using just the books and the addendums. I skipped only one of the "hard" sections as stated in Post #14. Post #19 mentions skipping a...

That section of Lippincott road always freaks me out, and I don't carry as much weight on the roof!

Thanks of the report and pictures! That road leading to Kelso Dunes is the Pipeline road coming down from Foshay Pass.

Thank you everyone, I enjoyed writing it. I'll have to do more trip reports in the future! I was actually thinking that I could do this trip in about 4 days, even with side trips. But as I mentioned at the beginning of the report, the trail is rough enough that for the standard 4x4, it's...

Day 9, Steam Well Peteroglipps After leaving the EMHT, I camped near California City (night of day 8). The next day (Day 9), I checked out the Steam Well Peteroglipps, which I hadn't seen in over 15 years. Here are some photos, to give another taste of what the amazing Mojave Desert has to...

Day 8, Devils Playground to I-40 Morning in the Devil's Playground, you can just pick out our rigs in camp: The next interesting site is the Mojave Megaphone. There is a lot of speculation about what this is, I have my opinion. These 2 pics are from a prior trip, as I didn't take photos of...
