The Rodman Mountains are located approximately 20 miles northeast to Lucerne Valley. Rodman Mountain rises 6,010 feet and offers exceptional panoramic views. Along with East Ord and Ord Mountains, these three peaks are the only 6000' plus peaks in the far western Mojave Desert. Perched on top of Rodman Mountain, you will have a grand view of the vast desert valley below. Looking to the south, you will clearly see Johnson Valley and the San Bernardino Mountains. Looking to the north, you will spot Cinder Mine, with its large open pit quarry, creating an distinctive dark contrast to the surrounding landscape. You will also find ancient lava flows to the east, as they stick out from the tan colored sand they neighbor. Make sure you bring binoculars to take in all of the wonderful views this mountain top has to offer.
