Regions

Where the roads run out

Dirt two-track crossing a sagebrush valley toward a desert mountain range under big clouds

The Great Basin

Sagebrush valleys, lonely ranges, and two-tracks that run for hours without another rig in sight. Home turf.

A lone vehicle on a cracked desert playa at dusk with distant mountains

Northern Nevada Playas

Wide-open alkali flats, hot springs, and night skies with nothing in the way.

Dusty forest road through tall pines with a snowy volcanic peak in the distance

Northern California

Forest service roads, volcanic country, and high camps under the pines.

Camp ethics

Leave it better than we found it

  1. 01

    Stay on existing roads

    Use routes that are already there. Don't cut new tracks across the desert crust or through meadows.

  2. 02

    Camp on durable ground

    Reuse spots that have already been disturbed, and keep camp well back from springs and creeks.

  3. 03

    Check fire restrictions

    Check the current BLM or Forest Service rules before every trip. Use a raised pan or a stove, and never leave a fire unattended.

  4. 04

    Pack it all out

    Trash, food scraps, and human waste are handled properly every time. No exceptions.

About

Hi, I'm Craig

I'm based in Reno, and I spend as many weekends as I can on the dirt roads of Northern Nevada and Northern California. Out Here Overland is where I share those trips as long, unhurried episodes, without the hype.

Expect real campsites, honest gear notes, and plenty of quiet country.

“The best camp is usually just past where you thought about turning around.”
