The Mojave Trails National Monument is a mosaic of rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows, and unique sand dunes spanning 1.6 million acres of public land managed by the Needles Field Office. The Monument was designated in 2016 to conserve, protect and restore nationally significant cultural resources. The Monument contains six wilderness areas, historic trading routes, trails followed by Spanish explorers, a transcontinental rail line, some of the best-preserved sites from the World War II-era Desert Training Center and the Nation’s most famous highway, Route 66.
