HL7154 is located seven miles north of Barstow in the Bureau of Land Management Harper Lake Subregion. The trail begins just across the road from Rainbow Basin trailhead. After exploring the Rainbow Basin, this trail is very convenient for stretching your offroad legs and enjoying the 360-degree views from the top of the mountain, extending from the colorful hills of Rainbow Basin to the snow-covered San Bernardino Mountains.
HL7154 is steep, rugged, and covered with loose rock, requiring a high clearance four-wheel drive vehicle and a driver with driver experience on these trail conditions.
Only the highest elevations of this trail are within BLM land. Fortunately, this high elevation provides spectacular views and is a beautiful place for a dispersed camp following the BLM Camping Guidelines.
During high fire danger, campfires may be restricted, and if planning to camp here, one should review the current Campfire Restrictions and have a Campfire Permit.
