Mojave National Preserve - Lava Tube

Mojave National Preserve - Lava Tube

Hello fellow wanderers!

Back in March we spent two weeks RVing in Laughlin, Nevada. During this time, we spent a day in the Mojave National Preserve in California (2 hours from Laughlin) and our number one attraction we wanted to see was the lava tube. We had seen other YouTube videos of this tube but we were simply in awe at what we experienced personally. 

As long as you time the sun just right (we happened to be there at 2pm), you will get the fullest sun beams coming down into the lava tube. It was magical. It was awesome. It was amazing to see in person! 

The lava tube is located in the NW corner of the preserve and can be accessed from I-15 from the North or from the South via Kelbaker Road through the preserve. We came up from Amboy through the preserve and drove down the five mile dirt road (Kelbaker) to get to the trailhead. Once you park, it is an easy quarter mile hike up to the entry of the tube. At the entry, you will be met with a set of stairs that drops into the tube. The tube was beautiful and amazing. There is really nothing more that I can say. You just need to experience it for yourself. Bring a flashlight and your camera! You will not be disappointed. 

Please check it out by watching our YouTube video. We captured some great footage of the beams and the lava tube. Please subscribe and like our videos. 

Much appreciated!

Thanks for wandering through the lava tube with us!
