Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2008: Mojave National Preserve Mountain-Bike Camping and Hike / Day 6: Coyote Springs to Butcher Knife Canyon via Kelso Depot and Death Valley Mine Road, Mojave National Preserve /
The last mile or two of Death Valley Mine Road is very sandy in places, in addition to being slightly uphill
I keep losing momentum, so I resort to hiking the bike and enjoying the scenery. I'm surprised to find fresh tracks from two bicycles on this road, which are the first bicycle tracks I've ever noticed in Mojave National Preserve besides my own.
I once passed a touring bicyclist on Kelbaker Road however; that was during trip here my 2006.
