Black Mountain Wilderness Rock Art District Day Trip **high clearance off-road**

Black Mountain Wilderness Rock Art District Day Trip **high clearance off-road**

Sat, Feb 21, 4:00 PM
From Drive 395
4.9

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. We will traverse a dry lake bed, visit the Black Canyon and Inscription Canyon petroglyph sites, drive through the Opal Mine site as well as visit the Scouts Cove tuffa cave. 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.
