Castle Mountains National Monument
National Monument · Searchlight, Nevada
A remote 20,920-acre monument in the eastern Mojave Desert nestled between the Castle Peaks and the Nevada border. Established in 2016, this little-known monument protects one of the most pristine Joshua tree forests in the country, plus rolling grasslands, wildlife corridors, and historic mining ruins. There are no developed trails, no visitor center, no facilities — true backcountry desert.
