Black Lava Butte and Flat Top Mesa Hike. This hike rivals any found in Joshua Tree National Park and almost no one knows about it. You are not likely to see anyone else on this hike. Google Map search "Sand to Snow National Monument Black Lava Butte and Flat Top Mesa" off Boulder View Drive in Pipes Canyon. Walk up the trail and on the first boulders you come to on your right (about a 10 minute walk) you will find incredible petroglyphs. Also look for the bedrock mortar (a bowl carved into the rock). Continue on through the canyon for a beautiful hike. Look for footprints that head off the trail to discover more ancient petroglyphs, carvings and bedrock mortars/metates.

One of our newer (2016) national monuments that offers a range of hiking and recreation opportunities in both the desert and mountains.
