Needles Visitors' Center is small but they have maps and photos of all the trails in the area. Here get detailed information on the current, local conditions for planning your off-pavement adventures in the area. Also pick up your permits.

Ask the rangers for the info sheet about the camping on BLM land just a few miles from the Needles District Boundary.
