Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2007: Death Valley National Park bikepacking / Day 9: no bicycling! Instead, a drive to The Racetrack and Goldbelt Spring with Phil and Renée from Emigrant Campground /
On the way from Ubehebe Crater to The Racetrack is a particularly colourful area
Blooms of desert mallow, desert paintbrush and cactus decorate the rocky Joshua-tree-studded landscape.
The road to The Racetrack is notorious for its heavy washboard texture. Phil experiments with speed because driving faster sometimes allows the vehicle to plane across the little ridges in the road surface, which produces a slightly smoother ride.
