Rasor Off-Highway Vehicle Area

The Rasor Off-Highway Vehicle Area is a designated recreation zone in the Mojave Desert where riders can drive motorcycles, ATVs, and other off-road vehicles across varied terrain. The landscape features rolling hills, wide valleys, and sandy washes that create different riding conditions throughout the region.

An old settlement route from the 1800s passes through the area, once used by settlers traveling across the California desert. Modern visitors can follow these same paths and connect with the region's frontier history.

The Bureau of Land Management monitors this area to maintain balance between recreational vehicle access and protection of desert tortoises, listed as threatened species.

Access to the area is available from Interstate 15 with free entry for all visitors. Camping is permitted anywhere in the region as long as you do not block established roads and paths.

The area is home to threatened desert tortoises protected by land management agencies. Riders share the terrain with this vulnerable animal population and play a role in its conservation.
