6. Beatty, NV to Lone Pine, CA

Beatty, NV to Lone Pine, CA – 153 Miles

The start of this section takes you into Titus Canyon, a deep limestone-walled slot canyon and a must see. This road travels in a one-way direction past the ghost town of Leadfield, which boomed for less than a year in 1926. 

Stop at Ubehebe Crater before starting the road to the famous Teakettle Junction. At the junction you can travel six more miles to the Racetrack to see the ‘moving’ rocks on the Playa, then backtrack on the main route over Hunter Mountain.

The optional advanced section down Lippincott Pass and is not for the faint of heart. This steep, rocky and off-camber descent will get your attention and the views down into the Saline Valley floor are incredible.

The next optional advanced section is a steady climb through a deep rock wash and two-track up to 8,000 ft at Cerro Gordo Mine. Riders on the main route can take an out-and-back ride up to the mine; it’s worth the effort to see before reaching Lone Pine.
