Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2010, Mojave National Preserve / Day 13: Nipton to Brant Hills, New York Mountains, Mojave National Preserve /

The day's travels begin as I ride south on Nipton-Moore Road, a dirt road that hugs the Ivanpah Valley train tracks for miles

Signs remind me that this road is not maintained and that I'm entering Mojave National Preserve again. Nipton is on the Preserve boundary, but is outside the Preserve.
