Trails and destinations by region

Start in town
Ride out from Mesquite
"Mesquite is an OHV/ATV-friendly city, with its city roads open to street-legal off-road vehicles, making it ideal for enthusiasts who enjoy thrilling off-road adventures."
The City of Mesquite lists two OHV staging areas, both open every day during daylight: the Riverside OHV Staging Arena at 680 Riverside Rd and the Championship Way OHV Staging Area at 1350 World Champion Way.

The Arizona Strip
The book's fact sheet: "The nearby Arizona Strip has 3.2 million acres of land north of Grand Canyon, is landlocked by the rest of the state of Arizona and Southern Utah." The Bureau of Land Management, which manages its public land from St. George, names Mesquite as the closest town to the west.
Dustin's free guide to the Strip, The Arizona Strip (opens in a new tab), covers its communities, landmarks and routes.
Plan the ride
Know before you go
This is remote country. Three things the agencies that manage it ask of every rider:
Register the OHV
Nevada requires OHVs to be registered, with exceptions; a vehicle registered in another state may be in Nevada for not more than 15 days without it.
Bring the right vehicle
"All roads within the Monument are primitive and may require the use of high-clearance and 4 wheel-drive vehicles," says the BLM of Gold Butte.
Plan for no signal
Around Gold Butte, mobile phone coverage is unreliable or non-existent; in Grand Canyon-Parashant only satellite phones and satellite messengers work.
