Black Eagle Mine Road

Black Eagle Mine Road begins in Joshua Tree National Park (JTNP) and crosses its eastern border into the Bureau of Land Management controlled areas and the Eagle Mountain Mining District. Before the JTNP was established, Black Eagle Mine Road provided the main route to the many mines along its path. It now provides park visitors a Mojave Desert experience following a corridor between the untouched Pinto Basin Wilderness to the north and the Eagle Mountains Wilderness to the south. Along the way, experience both the natural beauty of the Mojave Desert from the flat open desert and views of the distant Eagle Mountain Range to the man-made remnants of its mining history.
