's message, "Where is Razor Rd.?" on 20:31:25 04/03/08 Thu
Info: A remote area for the off-highway vehicle user. Rasor has rolling hills, open valleys, and sand dunes that invite riders willing to travel through this remote area. Elevations range from near 2,427 feet elevation down to around 1,275 feet elevation at the Mojave River.
Besides the remote nature of the area, another attraction is the historic Mojave Road which runs through the riding area into the newly designated Mojave National Preserve (street-legal vehicles only in the Preserve). Vegetation consists of creosote scrub, some annual grasses and wild flowers.
Location: The riding area is located between Interstate 15 and the Mojave National Preserve, about 25 miles southwest of Baker or about 45 miles north of Barstow. Access roads are Basin Road and Rasor Road east of the I-15. Both of these roads are graded dirt roads.
More detailed directions. The Rasor road exit is about 45 miles north on the 15 freeway from the Lenwood Ave Barstow Exit. when you get off the freeway there will be a store/gas station on the right and to the left a dirt lot that will have the start of the dirt road. Continue on the dirt road (purple line on below map) straight about 1 mile and keep right heading away from the freeway, from there about another 4-5 miles is where most people camp ending at the tree stop, basically the end of the road
