Activity itinerary

Quail Springs Trail
  • 20m
Quail Springs is a trailhead and picnic area. It's a great place to get out and walk around, explore some boulders, and take some pictures. An optional hike can take you to a nearby homestead site with rock carvings.
Boy Scout Trail (Pass by)
Boy Scout Trail provides hiking access to Indian Cove as well as Willow Hole, which is an oasis tucked into the Wonderland of Rocks area. The rock formations and unique landscape can make this a mesmerising place to hike, especially at the right time of day.
Hidden Valley
  • 1h
The Hidden Valley Trail is a relatively easy one-mile loop that circles a secluded valley surrounded by towering rock formations. It’s a particularly scenic hike, especially given how short and level it is.
Barker Dam Trail
  • 1h
Take a short loop hike to a natural tank that was artificially fortified by ranchers in the early 1900’s to collect rain and runoff for livestock. On the way back, keep your eyes out for some petroglyphs and rock art.
Wall Street Mill (Pass by)
Optional hike from the Barker Dam area to visit the Wall Street Mill, which processed ore that was extracted from nearby mines. Also along the way are the Wonderland Ranch homestead ruins.
Keys View
  • 15m
Stop at this scenic overlook that provides a sweeping panorama of the Coachella Valley. On a clear day, you can see for miles, from the Salton Sea to the south, to Mount San Jacinto which towers above Palm Springs at an elevation of 10,830 feet.
Ryan Ranch Homestead Site (Pass by)
Take a short hike (optional) to this old homestead site of a wealthy rancher turned mine operator.
Hall of Horrors
  • 15m
Get out and explore a mini slot canyon tucked into the boulders!
Ryan Mountain (Pass by)
Optional but challenging hike to the top of Ryan Mountain. Because of its central location within the park, the views from the top can be stunning.
Skull Rock
  • 15m
Located right along the road, Skull Rock is a natural rock formation and popular photo spot.
Split Rock (Pass by)
Another optional loop hike that gets a little less traffic than some of the other sites in the park.
Arch Rock Nature Trail
  • 1h
Relatively easy and popular hike that lets you visit 2 natural rock formations on one hike, Arch Rock and Heart Rock.
Cholla Cactus Garden
  • 15m
Get a taste of Joshua Tree's lower desert ecosystem, the Colorado Desert. You'll be surrounded by fuzzy-looking Teddy Bear Cholla, but you don't want to touch them!
