Death Valley Motorcycle Road Trip

Death Valley claims to be the ultimate desert motorcycle road trip of this generation. The name alone sounds so inviting to those thrill-seeking bike aficionados! Take the trip to California and head to Death Valley for an electrifying riding experience.

Traveling Interstates 251 and 15, then finally northbound the U.S. Highway 395 to Trona, California gives you great chances of meeting other bikers also making their way to Death Valley for a motorcycle road trip. On the way, you get to encounter some of the tallest dune formations in the United States open for off-road riding, the Dumont Dunes.

Take note that a motorcycle road trip in Death Valley is strictly for experienced bikers, and license plates on dirt bikes are required as stated by the Death Valley National Park rules and regulations. The place has all the reasons why you should go - rocky and narrow canyons, wide open desert riding experience and the dune fields you will need to cross.

Quick note: Death Valley also serves as a training ground for professional race teams.

The road trip to Death Valley National Park on your motorcycle will make you tired and look to check in for the night and recharge for the next day. Continuing your journey requires you to have every ounce of your energy for the terrain.   Stop at the Raffy Motogear4you trailer for your last-minute needs and to have your bike checked before proceeding your motorcycle road trip 90 miles north to the racetrack at Death Valley. The ride north gives you a lot of interesting sights to see in the form of various geological features. Scotty's Castle (also known as Death Valley Scotty or Death Valley Ranch) located deep in the Death Valley National Park will remind you of the ridiculous yet entertaining story of a man named Walter Scott who claimed to have financed construction of the "castle" in the late 1920's.  Moving along to Ubehebe Crater, you imagine how strong the explosive eruption of the Ubehebe volcano was 2,000 years ago as the volcano itself is gone. The Mesquita Springs Campground, also known as the Desert Rat's Paradise, is just a few miles southwest from Scotty's Castle and is an excellent base for climbers and hikers visiting the Death Valley National Park.  Then there is Grapevine Canyon and Titus Canyon...and many more other places to see.

The first 60 miles to Scotty's Castle is a smooth ride. Upon making the turn towards the Ubehebe Crater, though, 27 miles of gravel road will be under your tires. You may stop at at Teskkette Junction after the miles and miles of gravel ride for a break.  Continue, seven more miles to go until you reach Death Valley.

Finally getting a glimpse of the Death Valley racetrack reminds you of the very reason why you decided to take the road trip on your motorcycle to Death Valley National Park in the first place. The view is just magnificent. The track is particularly known for its sliding rocks. Getting off your bike and walking over the dry lake as if you are the only person left on earth is amazing! Then the wind suddenly comes and moves the boulders. Perfect. Ride the rest of the day away! The Death Valley is all yours.

With the adrenaline rush still pumping in and your musles still throbbing from the exhilarating ride, you are more than satisfied. All the dirt on your bike you will be bringing back home is a great reminder of how much fun you had. The motorcycle road trip to Death Valley, indeed, is the ultimate desert ride!

So I have tried to go on a road trip before with my crotch rocket. Needless to say, it didn't go too swell. I wouldn't mind getting a Harley and just disappear for a couple weeks. That would just be so much fun I think.

Even though, following post, I just consider that I really need more information on the subject. I think it is significant to find the blogs that you understand habitually and stay involved in the discussion in a regular, relevant and timely manner.

[Death Valley National Park]

The Death Valley National Park is the landscape of the soul with more than 3.3 million acres of the spectacular desert scenery, interesting and the rare desert wildlife, complex geology, undisturbed wilderness and the sites of the historical and the cultural interest. Bounded on the west by Telescope Peak and on the east by Dante’s View, Badwater is the lowest point in the western hemisphere. Serving as an even larger contrast from the dry, salty floor of the Badwater, the lowest point in the Lower 48, the peak of the Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the Lower 48, is visible.
