East of Lucerne Valley, RC3200 is entirely on Bureau of Land Management land and wanders through the northern foothills of the Blackhawk Mountains. It arrives at the property line of the Mitsubishi Cement Company, whose cement plant can be seen to the west. Along with the desert scenery, the slight elevation provides distant views out to the north of Lucerne Valley.

This is an easy out-and-back trail, but it still needs a high clearance vehicle. A new offroad driver will enjoy the twists and turns of this trail.

With no existing campsites visible from the trail, there are a few flat locations that will provide reasonable dispersed campsites when meeting the BLM Camping Guidelines.

Campfires are generally prohibited, and if you plan to camp, you are responsible for knowing the current BLM Campfire Restrictions. Operating a camp stove requires a campfire permit.
