The Bradshaw Trail Out of Blythe CA

Took a Friday off and decided to explore the Bradshaw trail starting in Blythe CA. Spent the night off the trail then continued down the Bradshaw. Once finishing the Bradshaw Trail we headed towards Slab City then onto the Salton Sea.
Opinion - The Bradshaw trail is a mostly graded road. There are some sandy sections and loads and loads of washboards. There are a couple of miles of the trail that runs through a wash so two wheel drive vehicles will need to keep their speed up. Last 5-10 miles of the road is extremely rough with extreme washboards. Overall - While the scenery is beautiful for an avid off-road this trail is boring. There really are NO technical sections and most of the trail is a fast paced graded road. We would not do this trail a second time - but it is a great trail to get away from everyone and be out in the middle of nowhere. So if you're looking for a beginner trail and want to be totally isolated this trail is for you.

Hi Bradshaw gang

[@marcossoberanes]

Great video I really enjoyed the trail drive and looks like you guys had a great time 😊

[@overlandeffex]

It was a good time. Wouldn't do it again - But checked another trail off our list.

[@marcossoberanes]

@@overlandeffex haha at least you had a good experience

[@overlandeffex]

@@marcossoberanes Anytime we're off-roading its a good time. :)

I travel extensively, on and off road. I always know when I've crossed into California due to the sudden appearance of all sort of garbage in the desert.

[@overlandeffex]

Yeah Its really disheartening.

[@williamwatson840]

Amen to the trash. In San Diego a few years ago you could go shooting in many places, BUT people took every thing including the kitchen sink and shoot the heck out of it and left it. No more open areas for shooting. I do not wish to see that for four by four folks.

[@overlandeffex]

Yeah its so sad that there are people out there that will ruin it for everyone.

[@mickaelholladay7446]

Don't get off on Lovekin, just keep driving. There are many other places to eat.

[@dustydiciurcio137]

I come from Santa Maria stoped in Blythe tried out rebel bbq and to honest with you it was a joke ....ain't nothing like that 805 tri tip ....

[@overlandeffex]

That's interesting because we've been there several times and everything we tried has been great!

[@mr.bigshlong796]

The snow birds come n ruin the town river n also off-road spots

[@overlandeffex]

We don't mind them at all. Most are very nice people and we haven't had any issues with them.

[@denniscovach3381]

That bbq isn't that good at all

[@overlandeffex]

Sorry you feel that way - But when we ate there it was great. We've eaten there a couple more times when in town and have nothing to complain about regarding their BBQ.
