Name: Buffington Pockets and Bitter Springs Easy 4x4 SUNDAY Drive
Start: 2026-01-25T17:00:00.000Z
Location: Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza

Easy 4x4 drive from Via Inspirada to Jean Lake Bed area where we can explore around in the maze of trails, share experience and tips such as safety and trail etiquette which will be discuss at the drivers meeting and along the way.
What makes that run interesting is we go through multiple type of terrains: Rocky ways, sand, up and down hills make this 4x4 drive a good one for new OFFRO4Ders with the desire to acquire knowledge about their vehicle and skills off-roading as well for experts to test their new gears and share experience.

It is 4x4 stock friendly. However, we will air down anyway as we will be traveling through different kind of terrain and because we ***Tread Lightly***. (advantages of airing down will be explained to the new offro4ders).
If you do not have deflators and air pump: **we got you**, no worries.
Ending time is approximate.

We will have lunch at the quarry which is quiet since it's at the dead end of a trail, away from the lake bed and has awesome views.
Bring your favorite snacks and off the grid lunch, a jacket, shade and chairs as well as **plenty of water to stay hydrated**.\*
\* location for lunch may vary depending timing. (During summer temperatures, lunch time is shorten to less than 30 minutes so we have more time enjoying the A/C in our vehicle).

Beginners 4x4 Drive Experience. (Inspirada to Jean Lake Bed) All Welcome

Shell

Located southwest of the old mining community of Nelson, Nelson Roller Coaster is a straight-through trail that makes its way up and down numerous hills as it travels through the Mojave Desert. The trail surface is mainly hard-packed dirt, gravel, loose sand, and small rocks around golf ball size. Like most desert trails in the area, this offroad trail intersects many washes and passes through a dry landscape covered in Spanish Dagger yucca plants. There are no major obstacles along the trail other than the steep ascents and descents. A high clearance 4wd vehicle with a low-end transfer case will make easy work of the trail.
**The trail is rated** 4+ on trails offroad so: 4x4 in good working order and all terrain offroad tires required.
**POWERLINE LOOP** will take us back down towards the river and Nelson where we started.

🚥 6th Year Anniversary Celebration - OFFRO4D Las Vegas 🚥

PKWY W Flamingo/215 - west side (near LVAC)

The Bitter Springs Back Country Byway is located approximately 40 miles east of Las Vegas, south of Interstate 15 and West of the Valley of Fire state Park. The byway connects Interstate 15 to North shore road that surrounds Lake Mead by following old mining roads and washes through the Muddy Mountains. A major site to be seen is the multicolored sandstone formations known as the Buffington Pockets. Tracks from the Old Spanish trail(later known as the Mormon trail), a path created by Spanish explorers in 1776 and later by settlers and miners heading west, can be seen crossing the trail. This area has attracted people throughout time due to the springs and water holes. Evidence of this can be seen in the petroglyphs, pictographs, rock art and ant hill shaped roasting pits. Settlement in the area created mining ventures. Old borax mines can be seen, where sandstone was quarried. There is plenty of extraordinary views and landscapes to be seen along the byway. Wildlife in the area includes wild horse and bighorn sheep. Bring your camera, sun screen and plenty of water. Nearby is the Valley of Fire state park that has it own scenic views, campgrounds and facilities.
