Badlands Bogie: This adventure route winds through the San Felipe Hills canyons, then a bit of a maze through the Mud Hills passing by Pumpkin Patch. The route is a challenging 51 miles. Not for beginning riders. The route leaves camp and heads east across open desert crossing Tarantula Wash through the hills and across Pole Line road. The route then cut up to the Artesian Well, then heads east in a narrow tight wash and climbs out onto a mesa near highway 86. The ride then cuts back through the mud hills and passes the Gas Domes. From here the ride follows Gas Dome Road then merges onto a single track trail and cuts northwest across the open desert. From here it gets really fun as the route snakes through the mud hills and winds to the famous Pumpkin Patch. The route then continues winding through the mud hills and then up a narrow single track canyon and dead ends. This is a fun canyon and well worth the hassle of turning your bike around at the end. The track then backtracks out of the canyon and again continues winding in the mud hills. The route then breaks out of the hills and heads east for a couple of miles then cuts back and merges into Tarantula Wash and again back into the Mud Hills. The route then passes the 'Lost City' and breaks out near Shell Reef. From Shell Reef the ride finally takes you back across the desert to camp. This is a challenging 51 mile ride not for beginners.
