Castle Peaks

San Bernardino County, CA

Coordinate verified

Jagged rhyolite spires on the northeast edge of Mojave National Preserve, overlooking Castle Mountains National Monument and the Ivanpah Valley. The peaks form a classic Mojave skyline hike from Hart Mine Road approaches—granite-and-volcanic sky islands rising above Joshua-tree woodland and desert grassland with long views into Nevada.
