Drive 395 will make its second trip to the Black Mountain Wilderness!

Located in San Bernardino in the Mojave Desert, the Black Mountain Wilderness Route is known as an easy trail that transitions from a sandy Desert terrain to a rocky mountainous terrain.

Our itinerary will begin by driving up Hinkley Road to Black Mountain Wilderness. Stops along the way will include:

  • Black Canyon
  • Spiderman petroglyph
  • Scouts Cove
  • Birdman petroglyph
  • Stagecoach stop water trough and well
  • Inscription Canyon
  • Indian circles
  • Dry lake bed and Fertility cave
  • Petroglyph sites

We will take time to stop for lunch. please pack your own lunch and being plenty of water.

Things to remember to bring:
*food/lunch
*water bring extra
*first aid supplies
*vehicle recovery equipment
*portable bathroom equipment
*gmrs radio
*satellite emergency communication highly encouraged
*full tank of gas
*spare tire and patch kits

There will be no facilities for the duration of the trip so plan accordingly. There will be no cell service so satellite communication is highly encouraged.

onX Offroad has this route listed as Easy with 4 wheel drive being mandatory. Each vehicle should be self-sufficient with proper recovery gear, camping equipment, gps, food and water. As there will be no bathroom facilities in the vicinity, each participant must bring their own bathroom and washroom equipment. Everything we pack in, we will pack out, and we will follow the leave no trace philosophy.

I am trying to keep the group limited to 5 rigs just to keep the logistics more manageable. If there is a larger interest, we can revisit the group size.

As the date nears, I will post more details and checklists so we can make sure everyone who attends will know what to expect and have a good time!

This is a family-friendly trip, and, as such, for the comfort and safety of all in attendance, there will be no firearms allowed, and rowdy behavior or excessive drinking will not be tolerated.

Rain will cancel the trip.
