Eldorado Dry Lake Valley Area, Eldorado Valley, Black Mountain, Mccullogh Range, Black Hill, Mojave Desert |
| DESCRIPTION |
This large flat dry lake offers only novice terrain and no services. Strong winds are somewhat typical at this area and often produce big dirt devils that relentlessly sand blast your day camp. Also beware the trash and debris such as broken glass and scrap metal that are scattered throughout area. There are no real side trails or single-track, but is a great place to break in a motor or to take out the kids for a few hours. For more interesting terrain and better camping, check out nearby Nelson Hills, or Jean Roach Dry Lake Bed.
