The Bradshaw Trail or the Gold Road to La Paz is a popular overland trail in the southeast corner of California in Riverside County. This once popular overland stage route used to haul miners and other people looking for the wealth of California. Along the route you will see many unique features to the area including old mining encampments, abandon train tracks, abandon train tussle, and many unique natural wonders. Because of all these amazing scenic stops, this route has become very popular with the overland community and off-roaders that are looking for a great way to escape the hassles of work. One of the amazing opportunities of this scenic trip is you can make it a day trip or multiple days to get to enjoy all the unique locations along the route. Thus, if you are looking for a unique offroad adventure near Palm Springs, CA and Blythe, California, that could be done in 1 to 3 days, and is easiest enough for a new driver. Look no further then the enjoyable 4x4 adventure of the Bradshaw Trail.

William Bradshaw found the trail before the time of the Salton Sea. It was indeed created as a freight and passanger route for the gold fields in La Paz, Arizona (just north of today's Eranburg). There was even a ferry to cross the river. The route later became the part of the Butterfield Stadge line and ran from the San Gabriel Mission to Phonix.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yeah, so much cool history. And it wasn't that long ago.

[@outlaw9232]

Great job! Looks like a fun place with some history. I know filming and editing takes time. You did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing this!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you for watching

[@JT_Adventures]

Great video, really makes me want to go explore this trail! Thanks. This video and my "encouraging" has resulted in a couple of buddies agreeing to run this trail this coming April. Can't wait!

[@Trailsoffroad]

awesome, you will have a ton of fun, let us know what you think. Also don't forget to go to our app or website to get details on the trail before leaving.

[@JT_Adventures]

@@Trailsoffroad I started with the app then found this video, love it. I got my buddies to checkout this trail on Trails Offroad too.

[@stevetabor4447]

Awesome trail love old mines an the history good seeing ya in your element as always be safe

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you for watching

[@dannydayus2216]

Passed right by my family property! Love it out there

[@Trailsoffroad]

Very cool, where is their property at?

[@travelingman21000]

Your are correct in that is one of the most easiest trails to do, as far as the train trestle being removed that is still a unknown. My friends and I did this trail Feb.10-11, 2020, 14 Truck Campers. Your video is one of several I use to determent if our TC can do a trail.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yeah, we are hoping they don't remove it. But it is unknown.

[@proofofpurchase747]

Stay tuned... Did I mention, "Stay tuned"?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yeah, I hear you. It isn't that easy when you add in we had about 16 hours of drive time, dozens of conversations outside while on the trip, and a dozen more talking clips between the few clips you saw. Plus this isn't scripted so it is all off the cuff. I am working on coming up with more transition words because I too dislike how much I say it ;) ---- Josh

[@ECVCrabmeat]

The bridge is still standing as of 01-29-2022. I just made the trek from the north.

[@Trailsoffroad]

We have heard rumors they won't be taking down the bridge. Just pull the tracks. We will see.

[@OverlandbyEric]

Hi Joshua, it was great meeting you yesterday in Cerra Gordo mine .I hope we can meet up again in trail. Overland by Eric

[@Trailsoffroad]

For sure, it was great meeting you too. We went up the hill but I didn't see where you were parked.

[@OverlandbyEric]

@@Trailsoffroad that’s my loss , I really like your channel . Great information hub. Sure I would look forward to meet you guys

[@Trailsoffroad]

For sure. This weekend we are heading up to Big Bear since it is close to home.

[@OverlandbyEric]

@@Trailsoffroad tomorrow I have my monthly drill with California State guard can’t miss it. However, last week I was at lost city and Firey valley NV so beautiful. Also Hoover dam changed a lot too.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yeah it has. Good thing you were out there last week and not this one...

[@travelingman21000]

Recently ran (Feb. 2024) this trail again and all the rails and ties are gone, the trestle is still there. Bradshaw trail had a lot of damage to it due to all the stormy weather in the area but was very passable.

[@Trailsoffroad]

yeah, there is a lot of debate if they will take the down the bridge. I guess we will have to wait and see.

[@racerjoe427]

I’m a new subscriber and a new member to the website. A lot of good info and very cool videos so thank you! Did you guys complete this trail in one day?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yes we did. It wasn't our intention but as we got close to the end we just pushed a little too far to want to stop and setup camp in the dark.

[@exhaustfumes927]

If u ever run out by blythe again we would love to tag along in our Jeep! Really like the info you lay out as well

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you for watching. Follow us on social media and on our website. That will give you the best chance at getting info on our runs.

[@goodtalker]

That drinker at 0620 has been there for many,many years....can't remember the name. Hunted a lot of muleys and quail in that big wash. Beautiful country.

[@Trailsoffroad]

It is always interesting to find things like this in the desert. Thank you for watching.

[@sethhannah8345]

Awesome video! Where is that watering hole you visited around the five minute mark in the video?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Head over to our website for more details and locations. The link to the page is www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/104-the-bradshaw-trail

[@drizzt94]

Great video as usual. Have any plans to do the Freeway Rdidge/Black Gulch trails that are in between Bakersfield and Lake Isabella off the 178?

[@Trailsoffroad]

No plans, but I would be up for it - Josh

[@drizzt94]

@@Trailsoffroad If you ever do, I'd love to tag along. Trail head only 45 minutes from my house.

[@Trailsoffroad]

@@drizzt94 Sounds good,

[@RicDurant]

Contrary to rumor, as of March 4th 2021 the train tressel is still there.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yeah, we are hearing the same rumors. We have seen the tracks up to the bridge removed. But not the bridge

[@pingpongballz5998]

Nice trail. So how do you know which area allows dispersed camping? Anywhere with a turnout or is it marked?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Head over to our website, you will find all the details there. The link is in the video description.

[@barefooboy17]

We are going out there on January 23. Hopefullythrain tressle is still there

[@Trailsoffroad]

Let us know if it is gone.

[@OverlandEasy]

Great content looking forward to more! And looking forward to you getting a microphone, they're cheap.

[@Trailsoffroad]

This is an older video, the equipment we use mostly not days is a lot nicer. But at the same time, its hard to deal with wind out in the open.

[@richardburguillos3118]

Leave No Trace! Nice trail

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you for watching

[@trevin1691]

Why WHY removing the tracks..... this was a great place for RR enthusiasts to ride “speeders’’” .... hasn’t been used as a live bombing range in ? Great views !

[@Trailsoffroad]

We feel the same way. Better get out there soon. The tracks were removed all the way to the bridge. Won't be much longer before they all are gone.

[@slightlynuts]

would a 2wd XJ with 32's make it?

[@Trailsoffroad]

maybe... The soft sand is the only really obstacle on this trail.

[@tronaboron2064]

Did u get a chance to check out New Maxico? It is a trail close to the first boat up in the hills, looks like an old mining camp. It is difficult to find and I could not find any history on it.

[@Trailsoffroad]

We did see the trail but were running a little slow at that point, thus we decided to push past it. We are talking about trying to go back out there before it warms up to hit all the side trails.

[@Downtimelost]

Y’all Got phone service at this trail ? Ol lady demands I have cel service to get out here

[@Trailsoffroad]

There as some on the east side and a little on the west side, but none to little in the middle.
