About riding at Ocotillo Wells SVRA

Desert riding brings heat, dust and fast-changing weather. Storms can send flash floods down dry washes, sometimes from rain many miles away, and wind can raise blinding dust. Spring and fall are usually the most comfortable seasons.

The forecast on this page is for the approximate center of the area. Conditions can differ across large areas and at different elevations. Trail rules, permits, vehicle width limits and seasonal or wet-weather closures vary, so check with the park or land manager before you ride.
