Located south of the popular Johnson Valley OHV area, New Dixie Mine Road travels a picturesque corridor between the Bighorn Mountain Wilderness and the Black Mountain Wilderness, slowly rising towards the northern San Bernardino Mountains. It is a gorgeous drive over a desert wash that leads into narrow rocky canyons. This straight-through trail passes through a once-active mining area with numerous spurs that invite exploration and can lead to mines and their remaining ruins, established campsites, cisterns, and springs.
Along this trail, dispersed camping is allowed at the many established campsites when following the Bureau of Land Management Camping Guidelines. Open fires are prohibited.
This is an easy trail requiring a high clearance two-wheel drive vehicle. However, if planning to explore off the trail, you will require a four-wheel drive high clearance vehicle.
