The '''Resting Spring Range''' is found in the eastern [Mojave Desert](/source/Mojave_Desert) of [California](/source/California) near the [Nevada](/source/Nevada) state line in the [United States](/source/United_States). The range lies in a generally north–south direction to the west of the [Nopah Range](/source/Nopah_Range) and southeast of the [Amargosa Range](/source/Amargosa_Range) and [Greenwater Range](/source/Greenwater_Range).

The mountains in [Inyo County](/source/Inyo_County), California, lie between the [Amargosa River](/source/Amargosa_River) and [California State Route 127](/source/California_State_Route_127) to the west and Stewart and Chicago valleys and [California State Route 178](/source/California_State_Route_178) to the east.<ref>''California Atlas & Gazetteer,'' DeLorme, 4th ed. 2015, p 109-110 {{isbn|0899333834}}</ref>

The 76,312 acre desert [wilderness area](/source/wilderness_area) is managed by the [Bureau of Land Management](/source/Bureau_of_Land_Management) and ranges in elevation from 2,040 feet (621 m) to 5,264 feet (1604 m) on Stewart's Peak.  The [Nopah Range Wilderness](/source/Nopah_Range) lies to the south and the [Death Valley Wilderness](/source/Death_Valley_Wilderness) to the west.<ref>[https://wilderness.net/visit-wilderness/?ID=491#general Resting Spring Range Wilderness] - Wilderness Connect</ref>
