Located in the Johnson Valley OHV area and Fry Valley, Green Rock Mine Road cuts through the remains of its namesake Green Rock Mine and the mounds of green rock left over from the mining operation. This high elevation provides expansive views to the south of the desert floor and distant San Bernardino Mountains.
While starting over an easy desert floor, the trail becomes very difficult once climbing into the Fry Mountains over large loose rocks. The last half mile of the trail requires a high clearance four-wheel drive vehicle with an experienced driver.
Dispersed camping is allowed here when following the Bureau of Land Management Dispersed Camping Guidelines. Several dispersed campsites can be found around the mining camp with flat areas large enough for several vehicles and high enough to provide nice views to the south of the desert and distant mountains. Campfires are generally prohibited, and if you plan to camp, you are responsible for knowing the Campfire Restrictions.
