    When it's not blistering hot, this is a wonderful, level and wide trail to walk a dog!

    The Pacific Crest Trailhead - Mojave River Forks End of Road serves as a significant access point…read moreto the iconic Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in Southern California. Situated at an elevation of 923 meters in the Mojave Desert region, this trailhead marks a unique intersection where the vast wilderness of the PCT meets the end of California Highway 173. It is a crucial gateway for exploring the diverse landscapes of the San Bernardino Mountains foothills and the unique desert environment. Visitors consistently highlight this trailhead as the most accessible starting point for reaching the popular Deep Creek Hot Springs, making it a favored destination for hikers. The opportunity to experience a distinctive desert section of the Pacific Crest Trail, with its scenic Deep Creek Canyon and lush riparian vegetation, is another major draw. The convenience of a wide parking area at the end of the paved road also contributes to its popularity among those looking for day hikes or shorter excursions on the PCT. Before setting out, hikers should be prepared for a creek crossing within about a mile of the trailhead, as Deep Creek must be forded. While often shallow or dry, especially during certain times of the year, water levels can rise significantly after rain or snowmelt, potentially requiring an alternative parallel track near the dam. The trailhead offers ample free parking at the dead-end of Highway 173, making it easily reachable by passenger vehicle. This trailhead is ideal for hiking and trail running, particularly for those aiming for the Deep Creek Hot Springs, which is typically a 12-mile out-and-back journey. The arid desert climate suggests that spring and fall offer the most comfortable conditions for exploration, avoiding the extreme heat of summer or potential high waters in winter. Its location also provides convenient access to nearby amenities at Mojave River Forks Regional Park, including camping and recreational opportunities at Silverwood Lake.

    SOUTH Apple Valley, CA: Wide open spaces in this wide walking/biking trail along the Mojave River…read morebed off Bear Valley Rd. Clean cement sidewalk to enjoy high desert views of the Mojave River and Desert from sunrise to Sunset. This South Mojave River bed is easy access from behind 24 Hour Fitness. I don't have a measured walk, but there are benches along the way to rest if needed. It's a wonderful way to walk run hike bike skate and feel safe. It seems to be kept clean, so let's keep it that way. Enjoy our desert.

    They have a walking trail and bikes are welcome. If you enter by the Jess ranch shopping center you…read morecan walk or ride a bike along the top of the riverbed. It is nice and smooth so even my son with his small bike with training wheels was able to make it. It can get dusty of course, but after a light rain it is perfect. It is a straight line and you will see other people walking. A lot of people from Jess Ranch come here so they are older. Don't go too far if you don't want to walk all the way back. There are no cars allowed so you wont have to worry about your kids getting hit if they get ahead of you. Of course people use the riverbed for off-road use and who wouldn't. My kids love riding their quads out here because we live close to the riverbed. I always see people with their jeeps and side by sides. There are a lot of trails leading from the houses to the riverbed so you can tell who comes out here a lot. we have never been messed with by the police but we always have helmets and are a block from our house. It is a do at your own risk kind of thing.
