Dead Mountains, Nature reserve in San Bernardino County, United States.
The Dead Mountains extend across 47,157 acres of protected wilderness, featuring jagged peaks, alluvial fans, and Mount Manchester reaching 3,598 feet in elevation.
The establishment of this protected area followed decades of mining activities and exploration during the late nineteenth century in San Bernardino County.
Native American tribes maintained deep connections to this land, utilizing Picture Canyon's water sources and natural resources throughout their seasonal migrations.
The Bureau of Land Management requires permits for activities such as camping and off-road driving, while motorized vehicles remain prohibited within wilderness boundaries.
The northern section contains the last population of smoketrees found in the California Desert Conservation Area, marking their northernmost natural occurrence.
