At 5,456 feet, Ryan Mountain is the park’s second tallest peak after Quail Mountain (5,816 feet). But while there’s no established trail up Quail Mountain, a well-built, if somewhat steep path leads to the top of Ryan Mountain.

3 Mile trail to the top of Ryan Mountain gains you wonderful views of Joshua Tree National Park. Well groomed trail switchbacks with roughly 1000 ft of elevation gain.
