Redrock Inyokern Road runs north-south and connects Inyokern, California, with Red Rock Canyon State Park. It travels directly next to the El Paso Mountains Wilderness Area for a third of the distance. A few dispersed campsites can be found on the BLM portions of the trail but are far and wide throughout its 18-mile length. The road is maintained, but embedded rock will poke up from the dirt surface when you least expect it. However, it is suitable for any vehicle in dry conditions.
The El Paso Mountain Wilderness area has a rich mining history, particularly from the early 1900s, when miners built stone cisterns to collect and store water for operations, livestock, or personal use. You will see a few of them as you drive the road.
