Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2010, Mojave National Preserve / Day 9: Nipton to Malpais Spring by bicycle via Walking Box Ranch Road, Mojave National Preserve /

Malpais Spring Road tops out on a plateau at about 4600 feet elevation, so I park the bicycle and start looking for a campsite

Nice view of the town of Searchlight, Nevada from here. At this point, the meagre road turns northeast and continues back down to the corral on Walking Box Ranch Road that I passed a while ago.
