    Tips

    Hiking

    This ~4-mile round-trip trail gains about 1,000 feet, with sandy dirt paths, boulders, and some short scrambles marked by cairns and posts—so bring a GPS or offline map. Park near the small dirt lot off CA‑173 (permit required) by the rifle range. The route starts in shady forest but opens to granite outcrops with Joshua Tree–style views. Wear sturdy boots, carry plenty of water, and start early to beat the heat—there’s little shade, but you’ll be rewarded with sweeping mountain and desert vistas from the top.
