There are 2 main off-road areas on the east side of El Paso, Red Sands and the SAC. They are about, and I'm just estimating, 15-20 miles away from each other on paved roads. I've been hearing for a while that you could drive across the desert from one area to the other and I've been wanting to do this for a while and I finally did!
I drove my Av and a buddy of mine took his jeep. It had rained a few days prior to our little trip and there was a little mud, which was a nice break from all the sand around here. We started at the SAC and went north-east across the desert to our destination of Red Sands. It took us about 2 hours although it probably could have been done in about an hour to an hour and a half.
The best part was that neither of us got stuck! Well actually the best part was that we had fun, but not getting stuck is always nice too!
Enjoy the pics!
