The trail starts in the out skirts of Laughlin, Nevada and it ends near Barstow California. A driver should expect to take at least two days to cover the 138 miles. I myself, make a three-day trip of it. If you or a friend are new to 4 wheeling and want to experience trail side camping as many long time 4 Wheelers do. Spend some time researching the trail by picking up books and maps.
Forward planning is crucial, especially when it comes to gear.
Self-sufficiency is by far the most important, bring plenty of food, fuel, and of course , water. Gear requirements need plenty of forethought. A good place to start is look at modern backpacking gear. For the most part it's lightweight, small, and surprisingly durable. The buddy system goes a long way in this kind of camping.
