Ghost Town Dirt Bike Tour
Southern California, USA
|
Ghosts and gunfights! This tour combines three historical Ghost Towns, 3700 feet of elevation change, and some of the best enduro off-road riding California offers. Experience a whole new world of riding - there aren’t many rides that offer such diverse terrain! Only an hour and a half outside LA, this tour starts in the San Gabriel Mountains, punctuated by steep, sandy and rocky mountains, rolling hills, sand dunes, dry lake beds, sandy washes and vast stretches of desert populated with Joshua Trees, Creosote Scrub, wildflowers, and cacti.

Ride through the untamed California desert. This enduro tour route will cross through several OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) areas, including the world’s largest managed open riding area. Throughout the year, national racing events take place here, including Rally, Hare and Hound, Trials, SCORE Trucks, Rock crawlers and Enduro…you name it! The expansive range is crisscrossed with hundreds of miles of trails. Indian outlaw “Willie Boy” was tracked and met his final fate here. You will spend one night at a live-in old west motion picture set which housed actors like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Dick Jones, filming movies like The Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill Jr. to name a few.
Discover the historic old west. This town has an exceptionally realistic western town look, right down to actual bullet holes in the signage and hitching posts for horses. We will spend another night near a historical silver mine town where it is believed that ghosts are still trying to strike it rich. On the third and final night a Living Ghost Town awaits you with cozy cabins and a heated Jacuzzi in the middle of nowhere. By the end of your enduro tour, the off-road motorcycle guide will have led you through the beautiful and mysterious Mojave Desert, where water and wind have worked magic, creating brilliantly colored rock formations and breathtaking scenery.
