Nice trail, well maintained picnic area, peaceful tranquility-filled day...and comical posing Joshua's to top it off! Like trees in spikey costumes hanging out after the party's over...
Very cool hike, learned lots!
The gate is always closed, so you need to park on the side of the road and just walk in (see my photo of the front gate).
This is O.K. to drive through, but the entrance gate was locked and it seems that it's jyst a park full of Joshua Trees, with no signs or trails or interpretive information. Nice for a quick photo, but don't plan on spending too long here.
It's a lovely park with lots of Juniper and Joshua trees. There's an information board with maps you can take along your walk. There are numbered trail posts to help you keep your bearings. There's a porta potty near the information board.
Tip: I don't have a good sense of direction, so I used Google Maps to drop a pin on my car and help me find my way back.
A nice small park worthy of a visit if you are into desert wilderness, but don't want to deal with crowds or horrible drives.
