Mojave Desert-El Paso Mountains- Black Mountain.

Mysterious Black Mountain:  Said to have been used by Native American tribes as a meeting and trading spot, Black Mountain has intrigued desert explorers for ages.  Artifacts, rock drawings, and the remains of dwellings have been found on the top of this mountain, and 19th century prospectors claimed to have seen strange lights here.

Trails leading to Black Mountain are closed to vehicles; access is via foot only.  I hope to make the hike to the top, one day.
