Now that I got my new tires installed and my bike ready to go, I decided to take a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park which is only about an hour from La Quinta. I didn’t want to do the regular paved tour through the park, so I searched the internet and had found that there are a lot of “4 wd” roads in the park as well. So with GPS in hand (or should I say on bike), I headed out towards the south end of the park looking for Berdoo Canyon Rd….head east on hwy 10 through Indio to Dillon Road exit, head north on Dillon for a few miles to Berdoo Canyon Rd, turn right onto Berdoo Canyon and away you go…..

What do you think they do out here for fun?...Luckily none of these guys were around when I was going through
Berdoo Canyon Road connects onto Geology Tour Road and then connects to the main parkway. It’s made up of rocky technical sections, loosen sand and hardpack…so you kinda getb a little of everything. I’m not used to riding in too much sand, so it was a little tricky riding through these parts with the bike snaking around underneath me, I almost dumped the bike several times on some technical rocky areas (I sure wish I had lower gearing) but managed to keep upright and relatively scratch free….

It really worse than the pictures show...honest!!!
Yup more of the same.....I think it was about 90F at this time....HOT!!!
They call this a road????? What the &#@#$* ??
After Berdoo, I headed south on the main parkway to another called “Old Dale Road” which headed north passing by some old mines…..
Beginning of Old Dale Road....to the left!!!
Miles of sand!!!
Old Dale started out as a hard packed dirt road almost two lanes wide, I’m guessing designed for “regular vehicles”…but after about 15 miles, the road progressively gets worse and worse until nothing but a hard core rock crawler could pass…..I probably got about 3/4 of the way through but then hit a section that was just too much for the loaded down KLR ( and me as well)….so I made the decision to turn around and back track….
Old Dale Road slowley getting worse
Doesn't look as bad as it really was.......
All in all, I put about 250 miles on with about 120 of those in the dirt trails….it was hot and I was getting tired wrestling my 400 lb bike through sand and rocks…..time to head back to La Quinta!!!!
Tommorrow….Salton Sea….
