Southern California & Southern Arizona

A 14-day overland journey through some of the most spectacular and remote landscapes in the American Southwest, combining the Mojave Desert, Death Valley, Joshua Tree National Park, Southern Arizona, and the iconic red rocks of Sedona.

Starting and ending in Las Vegas, you'll travel through vast open deserts, rugged mountain ranges, dramatic canyons, natural hot springs, and breathtaking wilderness. Along the way, the landscapes and elevations change dramatically, from low desert valleys to remote mountain passes and towering red rock formations.

Unlike trips focused on short daily trails near towns and paved roads, this adventure includes long, remote overland routes. Some sections can involve up to three days of continuous wilderness travel, crossing vast desert landscapes before reaching another paved road. You'll carry extra fuel and experience the American Southwest far beyond the places most visitors ever reach.

This trip is designed for travelers seeking a true overlanding experience. You should feel comfortable spending extended periods away from civilization, camping in remote wilderness, and exploring some of the most adventurous overland trails in the region.

The journey includes the Mojave Desert, Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, remote overland trails across Southern Arizona, and the spectacular red rock landscapes of Sedona.
