Sheephole Valley Wilderness Area

The Bureau of Land Management designated and manages the Sheephole Valley Wilderness Area, which includes the Calumet Mountains, within Mojave Trails National Monument. Sheephole Valley Wilderness Area [2] The 194,861-acre (approximate) Sheephole Valley Wilderness is a perfect representation of the basin and range topography typical in the Mojave Desert. The area consists of the northwest to southeast trending granitic boulder strewn Calumet Mountains and Sheep Hole Mountains, and is adjacent to the northern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park.[3]
