Keller Peak sits at an elevation of 7,882 feet. At the top there is the Keller Peak Fire Lookout, which is the oldest fire tower still standing in San Bernardino National Forest.

The preserve encapsulates a serene mountain marsh with sedge, grasses, and endangered bluegrass and checkerbloom. The lake is azure and pillars of quartz monzonite decorate the landscape.

At 7,882 feet, Keller Peak takes a sustained effort to get to the top. However, it is worth the effort as the views you get from the top are incredible.

The Exploration Trail is a non-motorized, family friendly trail. The trail was designed by children along with help from the U.S. Forest Service personnel.

Great view from the PCT onto the valley and Deep Creek. The views stay with you for a while as you stay high above the valley.

At the confluence of Deep Creek and North Fork Mohave River you can get across the almost dry creek bed most of the year without getting the shoes wet. After the spring snow melt or rain upstream water can be higher so a short wading might be necessary, or a short detour over the side of the dam. A cool trail excursion offers to cross through the tunnel under the dike, often involving a short refreshing section wading through thigh-high water at the northern end. The creek through the tunnel itself is barely a trickle most of the year, that disappears into the desert sand at the other end.

Leading to Mastodon Peak, the Mastodon Mine Loop Trail is a straightforward, 3-mile trail with peaceful surroundings within Joshua Tree.

This small mountain in the lower part does not see as many visitors as the center of Joshua Tree National Park. Leave the crowds behind and enjoy a hike to this peak and the scenic ruins of the old Mastodon Mine. In the 1930s, the Hulsey Family found some gold ore, but was not able to get to the main vein, so the mine was abandonded pretty soon.
