PANORAMA LOOP
The trail starts at the Ranger station in the Blackrock Campground which is in the very NW portion of Joshua Tree National Park. (This is not the Bigfoot Panorama Loop).
The hike begins walking through a sandy wash and then we will start hiking up a gradual incline to the top of a ridge which offers spectacular views of JTNP as well as San Gorgonio. We then descend down steep switchbacks and continue in the sandy wash back to the trailhead.
DISTANCE: 6.2 miles
ELEVATION: 1,000 foot elevation gain.
PACE: 2.0-2.5 mph
At this moderate pace, we should complete the hike in about 3.5 hours, round trip.
We will meet at 8:30 am on 20th Ave in front of Denny’s just north of the intersection of the 1-10 and North Indian Canyon Dr. We can carpool from there.
No park pass required.
