Newberry Wilderness
Overview
The Newberry Mountains Wilderness encompasses approximately 26,102 acres managed by the BLM’s Barstow Field Office with dynamic landscapes that provide visitors a memorable experience onpublic land. Rugged and volcanic in origin, the Newberry Mountainsgently rise toward broad and flat tops with elevations ranging from2,200 feet in the north to 5,100 feet in the south. Deep, mazelike canyons slice through the mountains in all directions.
The old Azucar Mine lies just outside the western border, and evidence of past mining activity is scattered throughout the area. When the rains cooperate, the western side of the Wilderness erupts into spring wildflower displays. Catch a glimpse of desert bighorn sheep passing through, or a falcon or eagle hunting from the air.
