Check Out My Blog For Lots Of Great Content Here: https://www.muddyruttzz.com/blog Highway 62 is called the most desolate highway in California. To me it is the gateway to the Rice Valley Wilderness and desert off-road Overlanding adventures. It’s a section of the Mojave Desert. I spent 2 days alone in the desert. Driving a Jeep Wrangler Ecodiesel and Xventure XV-3 off-road trailer.

Reaching the Rice Valley Shoe Fence in Rice California I turned south to drive the Rice Midland dirt road. Midland is a abandoned town and I camped near there my first night. Next day I would find the Midland Vidal road and drive off-road through the Rice Valley Wilderness deep in the heart of the desert. This route goes near the Maria Mountains, passes between 2 other mountain ranges and Rice valley Sand Dunes all the way to Vidal California. Incredible views and changing terrain are awesome.

Millions of folks drive California Highway 62 from Southern California to get to Joshua and 29 Palms. Heading East from 29 Palms is the more desolate part of Highway 62. Eventually reaching the intersection of Highways 177 towards Desert Center and Highway 62 towards where it ends at the the Colorado River. A lonely, desolate but amazing 2 lane road that passes points of interest like Camp Iron Mountain, Sheephole Valley Wilderness and a desert train derailment. 

Along the way I stayed at Sawtooth Canyon Campground and sat the Wyatt Earp House in Vidal California. My Jeep Wrangler Ecodiesel and Exventure XV-3 performed awesome as usual.
