Overview

Opal Mountain Road is located in the Mojave Desert, just fourteen miles north of Barstow. The untouched Black Mountain Wilderness surrounds this remote trail to the west and the beautiful Opal Mountain Range to the east. The twin peaks of the rose-colored Opal Mountains provide a constant landmark while following Opal Mountain Road or exploring the many other intersecting BLM-marked trails. At the trail's end, a short connection to Black Canyon Road leads to one of the icons of this desert, Inscription Canyon.
