California Riding and Hiking Trail
Thirty-five miles of the California Riding and Hiking Trail pass through pinyon/juniper forests, Joshua tree forests and creosote-dominated lowlands. You can access the trail at Black Rock Campground, Upper Covington Flats, Ryan Campground, Twin Tanks parking, and just south of north entrance. Two to three days are required to hike the entire length but shorter hikes of 4, 6.7, or 11 miles (6.4, 10.7, or 17.6 km) are possible. If you will be out overnight you will need to park and register at a
backcountry registration board.
