Cactus Flats, a Great Place to Ride Your Dirt Bike

If you take Highway 18 from Lucerne Valley California, and head up the mountains toward Big Bear Lake, about halfway up the mountain is a place called Cactus Flats. Look for a sign that says 3N03, it is off to the left. That is forest service land that you are permitted to ride on. There's you'll see many riders in their airoh helmets and other mx gear doing jumps and all sorts. It is high desert and is at about 4500 ft in elevation, and is just about the best place for riding a dirt bike that I have ever seen. There are no houses or people for miles around and the sandy, decomposed granite road makes a perfect surface to get a little crazy on. The desert landscape is beautiful there, with hills and boulders all around, and if you go far enough you will have a fantastic view of the whole Mojave desert below. Watch our for the yucca plants and cholla cactus though. They can be dangerous.
