About this spot

Pump House - Water Tower

The Pump House Water Tower is a historic landmark located in the Piute Wash watershed in California. The tower stands at 50 feet tall and was built in the early 1900s to provide water for the nearby mining town of Hart. The tower was restored in the 1990s and now serves as a popular tourist attraction and a reminder of the area's rich mining history. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of the surrounding Mojave Desert and explore the nearby hiking trails and picnic areas.

The surrounding desert landscape is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including desert tortoises, bighorn sheep, and various species of birds. Visitors may also catch a glimpse of the nearby Piute Ponds, which are popular with birdwatchers and home to a variety of waterfowl and migratory birds. Overall, the Pump House Water Tower is a great destination for history buffs, nature enthusiasts, and anyone looking to explore the beautiful Mojave Desert.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
