Teutonia Peak Trail- Cima, CA - 3 miles





This hike is definitely in the middle of nowhere. Near the California/Nevada border just off of Cima road near Cima in Southern California (Mojave Desert). About 15 miles of Cima road (watch out for the Tortoises!) you will find the trail head on the right. It is an easy, dry, and hot hike. Very easy. Watch out, we ran into a decent sized rattler sun bathing, definitely got pissed rattled at us and slithered away. If you happen to be in the area or are passing through, it is a great short hike with a beautiful view as a reward at the end. Very few visitors so you will most likely get the place to yourself. Classic desert landscape with cacti, Joshua trees, and many other yuka type plants. To top it off, there is a great little camping site basically across the road where you can have some privacy, protection from the wind, and its free!
