  • Cedar Canyon Road
  • Ivanpah Road / Lanfair Road
  • Black Canyon Road
  • Wild Horse Canyon Road

The weather can vary from one day to the next during the fall. To stay up to date, check the latest weather forecast for the preserve via the National Weather Service website.

All vehicles operating within the Mojave National Preserve must be street-legal in accordance with California DMV requirements. This includes current registration and tags, lights and turn signals, and valid insurance. California "Green Sticker" and "Red Sticker" programs are not recognized within the preserve.

Did You Know?
Park or preserve? Like other parks with the designation of "national preserve," Mojave National Preserve is managed under the same guidelines as national parks. The main difference is that hunting is allowed in national preserves, but not in national parks.
