What we’re about
Desert Wranglers Jeep Club (www.desertwranglers.club) is a family oriented off-road group which focuses on trail rides in the nearby national parks, monuments, and recreation areas. Our trails range from mild to wild. Beginner to Highly Experienced. We specialize in the beginner, teaching off-road basics on the trail and in the classroom, but we also want you to be satisfied after you have a few rides under your belt and want to do more challenging trails.
In general, our rules are basic common sense ones: stay on the trail, stay with the group, and be safe…and you have to drive a Wrangler or Gladiator. We don’t require you to attend meetings or events, and we won’t require you to volunteer for anything.
We are an independent, all-volunteer, registered Nevada 501(c)(3) non-profit Jeep club.
As mentioned before, we are family oriented, so bring your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, kids, dogs, cats, neighbors, anyone! (As long as they fit in your Jeep) Our meetings are usually the last Thursday of every month. We do a variety of trail runs, training sessions, and other events every month. Still not sure about our group? Check out the photos of our past trail rides. We’re just a bunch of Wrangler and Gladiator owners based out of Las Vegas, Henderson, and Southern Nevada who have a common interest in riding the trails and seeing the sights near Vegas. Beginners are welcome.

🟤 Super Moon and Mormon Well Trail at Night!
Mormon Well is an easy trail that runs 42 miles from the 95 to the 93. It is part of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge off of 95 @ Corn Creek Road. It is extremely scenic, and passes through a Joshua tree grove, PeekaBoo canyons, and some breathtaking vistas.
The first half of the trail is pretty well maintained, although it has gotten a lot stonier and chopped up recently, but no serious obstacles.
The second half of the route is not maintained, and rates a 2. A little more challenging, but still relatively tame. Beginners will love it.We will be doing this route backwards so please take note of the meetup location!! We will stop for a late night snack at the picnic area.
