Sound off. I'm particularly interested in hearing from Patriot owners not only in my area, but all of Nevada, all of Utah and Mohave County AZ.

I'm particularly interested in going on Ghost Town and abandoned mine (without going inside the mine of course) expeditions where you need a 4x4 to get to the Ghost Town or abandon mine to explore.

If you go to southeastern Utah, near Mexican Hat, visit the Valley of the Gods National Mounument. While the road doesn't require 4WD in dry weather, if there is any type of precepitation, I would recommend having a 4WD vehicle.

You can then ascend the Mogui Dugway, with switchbacks along the side of an 1100 foot mountain. Awesome scenery.

I am about 70 miles NNW of Reno, NV on HWY 395. Someday I want to go through Death Valley National Park.

It's not as close as you listed, but if you go SE from Kingman on US 93, there are many forest roads that lead to beautiful drives. Many of them are difficult, but not horrible roads.

Not sure about the ghost towns around there though.

I've taken mine to Eldorado Canyon on the Nevada side twice just outside of Boulder City into the Lake Mead National Rec Area. Pretty fun drive. I did however scrape my muffler the first trip out. :doh:
