Spectacular joshua trees are everywhere inside the Joshua Tree National Park, but none are to be found on the 3-mile, round-trip hike to the Fortynine Palms Oasis. Hike through piles of rocks and red barrel cactus to get to an oasis of palm trees.
If you go:
Day use only. The parking area is west of Twentynine Palms on CA Highway 62 and a short drive south on Canyon Road. No shade except at the oasis. Trail goes up 350 feet and descends 300 feet.
