Mojave Magic Adventure

All US-based Rawhyde training tours include private accommodations by default. Double occupancy is available upon request.

As a motorcyclist on a tour, one of the most common experiences is what we call “a race through the museum.” You ride through an incredible place, think “wow, this is amazing,” but you can’t stay long and promise yourself you’ll return someday. Most of us never do, and that lingering feeling of “I really need to go back there” stays with us. Before diving into the details, please note that the specific route listed below may be impacted by weather, snowpack, Forest Service or BLM restrictions, and other land-management decisions, so adjustments may be required to ensure safety and compliance.

So let me introduce you to our Mojave Desert immersion training-tour, known as MMA. The majestic and magical Mojave is a world-renowned destination with one of the largest off-road playgrounds in the United States, and Rawhyde strategically built an adventure-focused facility on its western edge. We call it ZAKAR – an acronym for “Zombie Apocalypse Kompound At Rawhyde.” Situated on a hundred acres near the town of Mojave, California, it serves as our gateway to exploration and skill development in this remarkable desert environment.

There is so much to see and experience in the Mojave: Joshua tree forests, historic ghost towns, old mining sites filled with relics, and of course Death Valley, America’s second largest National Park and the crown jewel of the Mojave. Each of these locations becomes a classroom on a training-tour, where our coaches make instructional stops before changing terrain to review body positioning, line choice, throttle and clutch control, braking techniques, and the strategies needed to ride safely and confidently in varied conditions.

Over the course of the week, we will explore Death Valley and many of the most iconic and beautiful locations the Mojave has to offer. This is not a race through the museum. It is a true immersion into the desert, blending world-class adventure with continuous on-trail coaching so riders build real skill while experiencing the best of the region. By the end of the trip, you won’t want to return because you missed things. You’ll want to return because you’ve fallen in love with the desert.

Below is the day-by-day schedule, beginning with a half day of off-road refresher training to prepare riders for the days ahead.
