About this trail
Wrecking Ball Trail is an expert rock-crawling route in the Hammers area of Johnson Valley, California. Expect large boulders, steep ledges and narrow rock sections that require a suitably equipped vehicle and experienced drivers. The pin is an approximate published route waypoint, not a marked entrance or a complete route track. This area lies inside the Johnson Valley Shared Use Area, which closes for Marine Corps training and can have separate event closures. Check the official closure schedule and BLM map before entering; remain outside the permanent military boundary and respect signs and private land. All vehicles need the required California registration or permit and equipment. Gallery photos and route maps are historical; they do not establish current access or obstacle conditions.
