    Great place to go if you want a low impact hike in the desert. The trails are clearly marked and maps are readily available in multiple places.

    Very informative. Very well put together. A great stop even if you dont see any tortoises

    It’s a nice area, I didn’t see any tortoises, I think it was too hot for them to be out. I saw a couple of different lizards though. They have a restroom and some trails, careful though, thought I heard a rattle snake, it is pretty wild open desert. Attached are some pics I took.

    One of the only places that has been set aside for protection of the threatened Desert Tortoise. Almost 40 square miles of protected habitat. There are interpretive trails suitable for families with young children that explain the flora, fauna and natural environment. There is also a small interpretive center with displays explaining the animals found in this part of the Mojave Desert. It is staffed every day during the spring season.

    Nice little place with a few trails that are well marked. Information on tortoise can be found in their visitor center. No guarantee of tortoise sightings.

I have had the Desert Tortoise Natural Area (DTNA) on my list of places to visit for a few years. Since I was camping nearby, I jumped at the opportunity. Passing through sleepy and imprecisely-named California City then on to the sandy Randsburg Mohave Road, it became clear why the desert...
