Ryan Mountain, Mountain summit in Joshua Tree National Park, United States.
The Ryan Mountain Trail extends over three miles through desert terrain and leads to a 5,457-foot summit with views across Joshua Tree National Park.
Native American tribes utilized Ryan Mountain as a significant observation point before the establishment of Joshua Tree National Park in the California desert.
The mountain trail serves as an outdoor classroom where rangers conduct educational programs about local geology and desert ecosystems throughout the year.
Visitors should begin their hike early in the morning with four liters of water per person, as temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
The summit provides a 360-degree perspective of both the Pinto Basin and Pleasant Valley, showcasing the contrast between two distinct desert ecosystems.
