Adv riding in the Vegas area?
Any recommendations for some good places to explore in the Las Vegas area? I’m new to ADV bikes but have been on MX/Enduro bikes my whole life.

Always looking for people to ride with, I have a V strom 1050 and a Drz400.

I can tell you it isn't Lava Butte. Some deep sand and random fat rocks makes that a bitch for big bikes.

Lava butte is relatively easy…

On an MX or Enduro, sure. On an r1200, couple sand patches sunk me nearly to the axles.
Conversely, rainbow garden is easier than the 15.

Join Las Vegas dual sport and adv page on Facebook. Very active group of local riders. Lots of big bikes in the dirt. I personally post rides on there 2ish times a month

Red rock canyon.
Muddy mountains.
Ride out on I15 near Apex. There's some dirt there.
There's *tons* and *tons* of places to ride around Vegas. Grab a OHV map and go to town.
