Overview:
Adventure:
The Blythe Intaglios are located 15-miles north of Blyth in the Colorado Desert. I consider the intaglios a must-see destination for anyone drive to/from Southern California.
The intaglios are easy to get to and are only an hour out of your way from the traveling the I-10.
There are over 200 intaglios in the Colorado Desert and mostly located along the Colorado River.
The Blythe Intaglios contain three human figures, two four-legged animals, and a spiral. The largest human figure in the Blythe Intaglio group is 171 feet long.
The intaglios are best viewed from the air s if you have a drone it is time to use it.
Parking
The intaglios are located down a dirt road so there is plenty of parking.
Camping
There is nearby Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land where you can boondock.
It is a privilege to have Blythe Intaglios for our enjoyment, so please practice Leave No Trace principles.
Directions:
- From Blyth travel north on Highway 95
- 15miles north there is a Historical Marker
- Turn onto a dirt road and drive 1/10 mile to the first intaglio

Quartzsite
Any van or RV lifer who wants to get away from the cold winter weather and hang out with other snowbirds, then Quartzsite is the place for you. Quartzsite is located in Arizona by the California border and has over 3,000 people. Interstate 10 runs directly through Quartzsite, which is at the intersection of U.S. Route 95 and Arizona State Route 95. Quartzsite is surrounded by thousands of acres of BLM land, which allows for free boondocking for an extended period of time.
