Overview

Known for its incredible views and rich history, Rattlesnake Canyon, or RC3331, is a popular overland route that takes you into the San Bernardino Mountains from Old Women Springs Road in Johnson Valley, California. The experience offers impressive views of Joshua trees, mesquite, and flowing springs that will make great memories. It is the perfect trail to escape Orange and Los Angeles Counties, and if strung together with other trails in the area, it can be an excellent add-on to a multi-day trip.
