Rice Valley Wilderness

Rice Valley Wilderness protects 41,000 acres of rugged Mojave Desert terrain in southeastern California—a landscape most people drive past without a second thought. But this wilderness holds ancient volcanic formations, hidden springs, and solitude that’s increasingly rare. No crowds, no cell service, no fanfare. Just raw desert beauty doing what it’s always done. If you’ve explored Rice Valley’s bajadas and canyons, you know it deserves recognition. Wear it proud.
