BLM RM26

This sand and gravel route departs Highway 395 running parallel to railroad tracks through terrain lined with diverse desert brush including creosote bushes, smoke trees, and other flora. Nice views showcase surrounding mountains including Galileo Hill, Saddleback Mountain, and Red Mountain creating multiple landmarks. The last half mile crosses private property where keeping your speed down to avoid dust becomes mandatory out of respect for landowners. Washboards and uneven surfaces appear throughout creating bumpy sections.
