    Hey newbie poster here in need of some help. Going to be in Vegas for a conference 2nd week of March and have 3 days to do a ride. Have done Death Valley and Zion park in previous years and was looking for some suggestions on a destination or route. Would like to be approx 70-30 street dirt. Thanks everyone.

    They're closer in, but Blue Diamond Road (Red Rocks) and Mount Charleston are all worth your time. Also, Northshore Road and Valley of Fire are also quite good. It's all pavement because that's how I roll, but I'm sure you can find some dirt in the desert.

    Have fun!
