Location
FULL! Lost Palms Oasis in Joshua Tree National Park
A beautiful hike near the southeast entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Beautiful vistas, lots of lizards and the occasional rattle snake! This is a fun hike with an easy to follow trail. A rock scramble down to the Oasis is optional, but, if you scramble down, you must scramble back up!
8 Miles round trip with Elevation gain of 600 ft. If people want to, we can extend the return to the parking lot with a loop up to Mastodon Peak.
Meet at the trailhead parking area at 9:00 AM. Hike limited to 10 participants. Here is a map of the trail with the parking lot indicated: https://caltopo.com/m/16J0N
