You can enjoy a near 180 degree view of the Sierras from Centennial Flat, framed by iconic Mt. Whitney – the highest summit in the contiguous U.S. at 14,505 feet – and Olancha Peak.
Upper Centennial Flat and Centennial Canyon hold some of the richest prehistoric cultural sites in the California Desert with evidence of living sites, hunting tools, trails and petroglyphs.
The flats are home to the adorable and imperiled Mojave Ground Squirrel, a California Threatened species and BLM sensitive species.
