Cactus Trail

Trail Overview

Ride this fun and flowy singletrack in connection with Roosters Course and Carpenter Bypass, among other single-track trails on the Pahrump BLM, to make a fun day ride. This recreation area is made up of several short single tracks off of Carpenter Canyon Road and Wheeler Pass that can all be ridden in a day or two. This short trail flows through a scenic and dense Joshua tree forest. It starts on a narrow dirt trail with some loose gravel and dips into a narrow wash that is rockier and slightly trickier to navigate. In the middle of the trail, it runs into a couple of washed-out sections that you have to pick your way through but are generally easy to follow. When going south to north, you'll have a fantastic view of the snow-capped Spring Mountains behind the Joshua Trees. It ends on a road that you can take to connect to the other singletrack trails. Visit in winter for sunny and warm days and to avoid the summer heat.

This trail is consistently easy but a rockier surface makes it slightly more difficult.
