Over the past several months, Brandon Collier has been working on the Jackrabbit Loop route for Bikepacking Roots that uncovers the fascinating history of the Small Tract Act of 1938, and explores the remnants of the once-thriving gold mines. Following this route, where artifacts of the past still linger amongst breathtaking desert views, you’ll find some of the best bike camping spots in this area of the Mojave. This area also has some of the darkest skies and the best stargazing in all of Southern California.

Explore Jackrabbit Homesteads and historic gold mines while riding in beautiful solitude. Enjoy your time in camp with breathtaking views around every turn. Check out more at Bikepacking Roots.
