Special Considerations

This is a Type III byway (unpaved), so four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended. The road can be very sandy in places.

Be prepared for desert travel conditions. Daytime in summer can be extremely hot and shade is rare. At night, the temperature drops significantly. Carry plenty of water. Always tell someone your plans, and stick to your itinerary.

Restrictions

The Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range borders a part of the Bradshaw Trail to the south. This is a live bombing range and posted as closed to public entry. DO NOT ENTER THE BOMBING RANGE.
