Awesome picture Michelle ! It's great seeing this group come together
This is the Las Vegas Chapter of Overland Bound. Our goal is to create monthly (or more) events that promote safety in numbers when out on the trail, cultivate friendships and explore our great state of Nevada and our neighbors, California, Utah and Arizona. If you have ideas for places to go explore, please post a comment!
Thank you!!

For those looking for any easy overlanding trails near Las Vegas ! I camped in this area last week right on the water and caught a decent sized bass out there as well :)

I heard there is a trail that can be taken around the lake and the powder. I jave not taken it but a friend of mine who has done the road many times is going to show me the route and I will share with the group!

It is a cool little adventure, but if in a fullsize truck the trail gets pretty narrow in a few places. I did it in a Ram 2500 so it can be done, but warn your passenger before heading up! Haha!
I’ve done it in the past and it’s not bad at all. Washboard yes, not crazy silty though. Fun adventure for sure we could also scout camp sites.

I am double posting here as well as the Facebook page. Sorry if annoying.
Thursday 04.22.21 - For the new people that want to travel the Mojave Road, arrive at the staging area off of Needles Highway to spend the night. This is a large open wash just west of the highway. Make sure you fuel up in Needles, Fort Mojave or the Avi Casino before heading to camp.

Friday 04.23.21 - Leave camp between 0800-0900 hrs. drive the Mojave Road to the Base Camp. View the sites along the way and clean up as needed. Everyone at the event will stay at the Thomas Base camp Friday night. Base Camp (Thomas Place/Ranch) 35.175409 -115.462134

If I remember correctly this is a RSVP event due to only a specific number of rigs allowed. I think it was 50 and those spots were filled and you need to get on a waiting list to attend. I would hate for someone to drive out and not be able to attend.
Protector II
You are correct, it is an RSVP event and limited to 50 rigs
New to Vegas,... lmk how to stay informed about the next upcoming trails/trips!
