Mojave Narrows Park

Once described as "one of Southern California's least-known parks,"[2] it is a location where the typically subterranean Mojave River flows above ground.

[5] Los Angeles-bound BNSF Railway freight trains "frequently rumble past," crossing over bridges on the western boundary of the park.

[6][3] The Santa Fe Railroad pioneered a train route named Frost[citation needed] through Mojave Narrows to the west in 1885.

[7] A 1973 newspaper "trip of the week" feature described the state of the park at that time: "Ranch guests are housed in adobes that seem to grow out of the hillside.

The informal ranch life includes swimming, tennis, bass fishing, hiking and riding on trails…The late afternoon and evening views are gorgeous over the crumpled Narrows rocks, pale desert mountains and snowy San Bernardinos in the distance.
