Macedonia Canyon Road is quite sandy, which is why I've never ventured down here on my previous Mojave National Preserve trips

Downhill on Morning Star Mine Road is not steep, but it is long: about 11.5 miles on a 2 percent grade

It's a lot of fun going down, but quite time-consuming and tiring to ride in the uphill direction. The 11.5-mile-long hill drops from about 4285 feet elevation down to 2750 feet.
