1004 Black Rock Mountain

There aren't many trails in the United States that offer the variety of landscapes that Black Rock Mountain does. This unique trail travels from the flat high desert, up to towering pine trees and then drops down into the harsh desert of Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. It's remote and the views along the way are absolutely spectacular. You could be lucky and have the entire route to yourself, allowing you to pick from a plethora of exceptional remote campsites that line the route. You start off on a relatively easy gravel road, crossing the wide-open plains, before climbing up the side of Black Rock Mountain. You will then drop down the backside through the Paiute Wilderness Area where the views go on for miles in all directions. Be sure to go prepared for a truly remote adventure, there's nothing out there but you and the wide-open wilderness.
