Overland expedition truck cresting a desert ridge at sunset in Death Valley

California & Nevada · Expert-guided · Fully private

Remote treks through grueling terrain

Fully custom off-road expeditions across Death Valley, the Mojave National Preserve and the Black Rock Desert — run by guides who live out there, with a crew that builds a five-star camp where the maps go blank.

Where the map runs out and the crew doesn't.

The routes

Three deserts that do not forgive improvisation

Each route is drawn from scratch around your group. These are the ranges we hold permits for and know by season, surface and water.

Death Valley

Below-sea-level salt flats, Titus Canyon narrows, and the high remote passes of the Panamint Range.

Duration: 3 – 6 days
Low point: −282 ft
Surface: Salt, shelf rock

Mojave National Preserve

Cinder cones, Mojave Road ruts, dry lake crossings and Joshua tree forests with no one else for miles.

Duration: 2 – 5 days
High point: 7,929 ft
Surface: Cinder, deep sand

Black Rock Desert

Open playa running, alkali flats, and remote geothermal springs on the far edge of northern Nevada.

Duration: 3 – 7 days
Playa: 200 sq mi
Surface: Hardpan, silt

All three routes in detail

Hour six, day two

The last mile anyone else drives

Past the last maintained road the surface stops being a road at all. That is where the trip actually starts, and where having a crew ahead of you stops being a luxury.

Technical instruction

Trained, not chauffeured

You drive. We teach you how to read a line, air down for sand, pick a rock crawl, and recover your own vehicle with a winch and a shovel. By the last day our guides are riding behind you, not in front.

Convoy protocol, spotting and radio discipline
Winching, kinetic recovery and anchor rigging
Tire repair, air management and field triage
Navigation and route-finding without signal

Camp, training and table

Guide rigging a winch line and traction board during off-road recovery training

Three tiers

Pick how much of the desert you want carried in for you

Every tier is private — there are no shared departures at any price. What changes is the length, the vehicle count, and how much of camp the crew builds for you.
