Mojave Itinerary 

The Mojave National Preserve offers a myriad of sights, lore, and attractions to experience. But before you get moving, we’d advise creating an agenda to streamline your trip to make the most out of your time and resources. To get an idea of the area that you’ll be visiting and spending an extended amount of time in, download a free PDF version of the preserve’s detailed map. If you’re planning on driving your Outback SUV throughout its many trails, it’s also advisable to download a road conditions map so you’re best prepared to handle adverse pavement. When you’ve arrived, you can explore the vast region by hiking or biking. Additionally, there are many hiking trails for anyone who will appreciate surveying the area via climbing. 

Travel Necessities

You’ll want to be optimally prepared for the elements before you set out to the Mojave National Preserve, as a great trip is also a safe one. While maps are readily available on many of today’s modern smartphones, it’s advisable to bring a physical one of the area for a broad visual you can reference. Speaking of contemporary features, certain Subaru models have wireless smartphone app connectivity to make it a cinch to navigate to the destination with live directions. Since you’re visiting a desert, UV protection is key to stave off sun damage and eye irritation. We’d advise you to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and shirts that cover the length of your arms to prevent unwanted exposure. You can store these items in the trunk of your vehicle or on top of the seats, which are embedded with available StarTex technology to help easily clean sand or dust accumulation. A first-aid kit is always recommended to have handy, as accidents are difficult to predict but can be adequately prepared for.

Subaru Accessories

There are a variety of accessories that you can equip onto your Subaru vehicle that will be invaluable during your upcoming trip. Splash guards, for example, help keep your paint finish clear of chips or scratches thanks to the protective barrier that they offer. If you’re planning on going on a cycling expedition with a family member or two, consider opting for a Thule® Bike Carrier that mounts onto the roof rails of your model. A Thule® Portable Step makes it easy to access items that are atop your vehicle, which can be mounted onto a wheel and is also easily collapsible for even more convenience. Finally, a Thule® Roof Top Tent makes camping at the Mojave National Preserve a delight thanks to panoramic skylights, a removable rain cover, and a dual-layer foam mattress.
