Mojave National Preserve, California

Ever wanted to release your inner Indiana Jones? With 1.6 million acres of towering mountains, volcanic rock walls, sprawling deserts, and massive sand dunes, the Mojave National Preserve offers an epic Wild West landscape and plenty of freedom to explore it all. Hike over singing dunes and drive across open dirt roads. Bring your horse or trusted bicycle and ride off into the vibrant pink sunset. Set up camp anywhere you’d like (0.5 miles away from the road and 0.25 miles away from any water source) beneath the unobstructed star-covered sky. Explore lava tubes, dried up salt lakes, and abandoned silver mines. This is the perfect place for adventuring across a seemingly endless desert playground. So get out there and start exploring!
