Our PRIOR Year Update Flyer to Attendees - Third Annual Desert Dust Run Quartzsite, AZ January 14-19, 2025

Join us for the third annual off road adventure on Roadrunner BLM land, outside the town of Quartzite AZ (off highway 10). There are two days of planned off road adventures in the surrounding areas. We will be Boon-docking on the 14 day free

Roadrunner BLM land. This is the perfect place to learn the joys of boon-docking. We are 6.5 miles outside of town, so if you run out of resources you can run into town dump and fill tanks.

Join us for two days of trail riding with either your Jeep or Side by Side. Depending on Interest, we will either be running easy trails or “sketchy” trails. We have added a side by side group this yearand will be running them separately. For those not wishing the 4x4 trails, we will be doing hikes to some of the interesting spots around Quartzite.
