This video is Part 2 of the Death Valley 2022 visit to Cerro Gordo with the KTM 790 Adventure R. This video has only riding footage, with a few explanations here and there (text only). There is no narration, no music, only motorcycle riding, from rider's point of view footage.
I segmented the video so you can only watch the roads you are interested in learning about. The best segment in my opinion is the ride on White Mountain Talc Road. It is a great and fun road for adventure motorcycles, and the landscape, especially at the first half of it, with the joshua trees, is phenomenal.
All segments involve great views and great roads. Perhaps the most important segment is the ride back from the Cerro Gordo, when I went to the road on the east side of town, which is steeper, and more technical. It is important to pay attention to its challenges, especially if you are planning on going up to Cerro Gordo via that road.
For more information on these roads I recommend you watch the Part 1 video, where I explain in detail the road conditions.
And remember, road conditions change from year to year, from season to season. So please, don't rely on this information only to make your route decisions.

Beautiful ride man. You’ve got a subscribe from a fellow KTMer. Btw, which garmin GPS is that?

Thanks! At the beginning of the video I was using a Garmin Montana. The power cable stopped working so I switched to my truck's old Zumo Garmin. It's no longer manufactured. Since then I fixed the power cable of the Montana.

Why wasn't the road to/from Cerro Gordo your favorite? It seemed like it had great views (@13:00 or so) and looked a bit challenging. I was surprised at the number of bikes out there.

I was surprised to see the number of bikes there as well. I was there on the same week as the ADVRider Noob Death Valley ride, which may explain it. Yes, the the road to Cerro Gordo is really nice, those views are beautiful. But I also like riding close to Joshua Trees and loved that two-track road. Thank you for your comment, it's much appreciated!
