Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2009, Spring: Mojave National Preserve / Day 16: Button Mountain to Baker by bicycle via Aiken Mine Road, with a stop at the Lava Tube, Mojave National Preserve /
Patience pays off: after a few hundred feet, I arrive at a camping pull-out and a tiny sign indicating "Lava Tube Trail
I love the sole, discreet sign. Kudos to the Parks Service for preserving our sense of discovery by not paving the road to this landmark, not putting "Lava Tube" signs on Kelbaker Road, and instead handing out directions at the visitor centre.
