Explore the Death Valley Adventure Ride

The Death Valley Adventure is a challenging ride, with its rugged terrain and extreme conditions, but it’s well worth the reward of breathtaking vistas, oases, and a sense of solitude that is hard to find elsewhere. Each twist and turn of the trail reveals new wonders, from the vibrant colors of the Artist’s Palette to the expansive salt flats of Badwater Basin. This ride is not just a test of bikes and skills, but also a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world. We hope you have a safe and amazing time exploring Death Valley.

Late fall through early spring is the ideal time to embark on this ride. This route is very weather and fuel-dependent, and fuel range is a very important factor throughout, with at least a 200-mile range recommended for each bike attempting the ride. Carrying fuel, even if you are sure of your range, is recommended in case of a re-route or an unexpected situation. Having off-road capable tires, luggage, a skid plate, hand guards, crash bars, proper air pressure, and good riding and camping gear are a must. It’s also essential to carry the proper tools and know how to use them in these remote areas. We recommend packing spare tubes for both tube and tubeless setups. Cell service is limited, so be sure you let people know where you are going and have a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) in case of emergencies. Make sure you also have a good GPS system or program, such as onX, with you and have all the necessary maps downloaded beforehand.
