2. Pahrump to Beatty

PAHRUMP TO BEATTY – 90.6 miles

Section 2 runs between the Nevada Test Site and California, through classic Nevada desert sprinkled with quirky Nevada culture. You’ll be cruising on mostly smooth gravel roads with the occasional sandy two-track and a few mellow rocky sections. If you’ve ever dreamed of riding giant sand dunes you can take a side trip to Big Dune, north of Pahrump. You’ll also cross a dry lake bed that looks like the moon, pass a pond full of endangered Pup Fish and stop at a crystal clear bubbling oasis. Take a spin up to Secret Pass lookout before the final stretch into Beatty.

Beatty offers easy access to Death Valley National Park, including the unforgettable Titus Canyon. If time allows, take a detour into the park before continuing north.
