Anyone know the fastest way to Dumont from Los Angeles... I know you take the 15 towards Vegas, but from there I'm lost.

Once you take the turn off from Baker, it's like 45 minutes or so. The last 5 miles are brutal, the road is a terrible washboard.

Is it worth the drive... Do I need anything else or is it like Glamis. Is there somewhere for gas just in case, a store, etc.

Baker is the closest civilized place. There are a couple towns a little closer (like Tecopa Springs), but they don't have any services there.

****beware*****
stuff in baker is hella expensive. i went through baker on my back from dumont.
skoal-- $9,15 a can
ragular gas-- $1.99
premium gas-- ~$2.30

there is quite a few fast food places and such. like he said its about 45 min or a little less to dumont. there is about 3 miles of dirt road. it wasnt washboarded too bad over the weekend. there were hella ppl there last weekend, well i guess i havent been there on a non-holiday weekend, so it seemed to be a bunch.

Str8Wicked,
The next big weekend is President's Day, mid Feb, I think. I haven't been to Glamis yet, but Dumont is lots 'o' fun... just keep your head on a swivel!! There's lots of people out there that ride way over their head (especially at night), and a lot of parents that put their young kids on FAST bikes. This Thanksgiving, I saw the ol' flight-for-life chopper land twice, and I was only there Friday and Saturday!

It is way small compared to Glamis. Whole area is like 5 square miles, no chit. But, there are some very steep dunes and Comp is way tall also.....you can't miss it.

I Live up here in Reno Nevada, all i have is sand mountain which is good but gets boring after so many trips. Last March and November i went to Dumont with my family, and let me say the 8 o' clock drag races and the funnest thing ever. Peace =)
