Hiking

hike HikingJoshua Tree National Park is home to over 80 miles of trails where you can make your way through dry washes, desert canyons, Joshua trees, Pinyon pines, and unique geologic formations.

All homes have guide books and trail maps for Joshua Tree National Park which would make for a good half-day adventure.

Our personal favorite is the Forty-nine Palms Oasis that takes you through dramatic elevation changes, beautiful views of painted mountains at sunrise and sunset, and a lush oasis filled with wildlife. View the Map of Joshua Tree Park to find the Forty-nine Palms Oasis.

View the Map of Joshua Tree Park for all the trails and points of interest.
