Rodman Mountain

Rodman Mountain is a dead-end, quickly ascending trail that leads to a series of radio towers. The trail winds along the hillsides as it continuously climbs up a 1.5-vehicle-wide track with several wide areas where passing can take place. The trail surface is fairly rough with small exposed rocks, square in size and roughly baseball to softball in size. The top of the mountain treats you with a grand panoramic view, giving a real bird's-eye perspective of the desert valleys below. High-clearance SUVs and trucks are capable of completing this trail, but 4WD may be required if the conditions are wet. A side spur near the start of the trail leads to a fantastic and secluded campsite, far below the towers and well protected from the wind. It is only large enough for one or two vehicles and best suited for vehicle camping, rooftop tents, and ground tents if you don't mind a slightly unlevel surface.
