Saddle Peak Hills Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in San Bernardino County, California.
The Saddle Peak Hills Wilderness extends across 1,530 acres of land, with elevations ranging from 500 feet in Silurian Valley to 2,500 feet at the hilltops.
The Bureau of Land Management initially opposed the wilderness designation in 1980 due to the commercial potential of copper, lead, silver, and talc deposits.
The wilderness area functions under the Leave No Trace principles, promoting environmental stewardship and responsible outdoor recreation practices for all visitors.
Visitors must navigate without motorized vehicles or mechanical equipment, as these are prohibited throughout the designated wilderness territory.
The sandy substrate within the wilderness provides specialized habitat for the Mojave fringe-toed lizard across three square miles of the protected area.
