Overview

All good 4x4 adventures have to begin somewhere. Motoqua Road is an access route to several remote 4x4 trails within the Utah and Nevada deserts. The trail has an abundance of free primitive camping for all types of recreation vehicles or tents. The route is well-maintained gravel, smooth enough for large RV's to travel far out to a remote site to use as a base camp for exploring this vast region. There are multiple sites where a large group with tents can all camp together. Early in the route, you'll travel through a scenic canyon before you begin the long traverse up and down a seemingly endless number of rolling hills. For more scenery and an offroad challenge, visit the nearby Birthing Cave and Gunlock Reservoir trails.
