I ride back up the road 1.25 miles to the Kelso Dunes trailhead

Most destinations within Mojave National Preserve are quite spread out, so it's odd to have such a short ride to get where I'm going.

The ride is so brief that it would be a waste for me to drive a car from the campsite to the trailhead if I had come here here by car, with bicycle in tow.
