SUMMARY:Bikepacking Adventure: Micro-Playa & Hot Springs Loop with Kurstin Graham out of Gerlach\, Nevada
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”71945″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \nA bikepacking overnight on the micro-playas above Black Rock Point. This is a favorite trip from the Rides with Friends series.\n\nThe route\, depending on any variations the group may choose\, is about 60 miles with about 500′ of climbing over two days.\nWe cross the Black Rock Desert Playa to Double Hot Springs\, an important stop along the California Emigrant Trail.\nThen we make our way along the base of the Black Rock Range to climb to the micro-playas above Black Rock Point.\nThis hanging playa has the magical quality of making you feel like you are in the most remote place possible. But you are only 30 miles into the trip.\n\nDay 2 will be 25-35 miles with negligible climbing to return to the vehicles at 12 Mile.\nWe will be on desert roads through the boundary dunes through a very geothermally active zone.\n\nThis is a dry route\, so you must carry all your water needs\, 4-5 L recommended.\n\nWe will have our post-trip meal at Bruno’s in Gerlach.\n\nHope you can make it!\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
