This state park sits on the top of a granite mountain, overlooking the High Desert’s Antelope Valley. From the peak of Saddleback Butte, you can see a major portion of the Mojave Desert. You’ll also get a good look at some Joshua trees, which are tive to the area.
Even if you don’t do anything except hike during your stay, you’ll go home with great memories of Saddleback Butte State Park. The trails offer a varying degree of difficulty, and the one that winds around the base of the butte is for day-use horse riders. The visitor center has exhibits that teach you about the region’s history and culture.
“…The views are beautiful over the entire valley: 360 degrees at the peak. Much of the trail is very soft dirt so bring shoes you can use to step into the dirt. Bit of a workout on your knees. There’s sturdier ground towards the top…” – A.T., Yelp Review
