Hiking & Sightseeing
Keys View (best for Sunset) - a stunning vista that looks out over the Coachella Valley and down into Palm Springs. This is a popular place that fills up fast for sunset as the sun sets right behind the mountain in front of you.

Arch Rock - This short half-mile trail takes you to the arch and you can explore all around it. It is one of many unique rock formations in the park and it’s a great place for star photography as well.

Ryan Mountain - right in the center of the park, and while it’s not the tallest mountain in Joshua Tree, Ryan Mountain is the most prominent with the beautiful 360-degree view from the summit.

Barker Dam - is the most popular trail in the park, is a short easy to access path. It’s one of the only trails that has water you can see, and it takes you to a historic dam from the early 1900s. If you happen to go in the springtime when it’s filled with water, it’s fantastic to see the reflections and the rocks behind it.

Hidden Valley - is also one of the most popular hikes in the park, and for good reason. It’s a beautiful place to explore, and it’s a short 1.5 miles. Walking up from the parking lot takes you into a broad valley surrounded almost entirely by rocks. It’s one of those places that remind you of a smuggler’s campground from back in the cowboy days.

Mastodon Peak - in the southern part of Joshua Tree National Park, is a four mile round trip hike that takes you to the top of a small hill, and gives you a great view over the park. We like this hike because it’s not too long, and there’s a nice payoff at the end.

Desert Queen Mine - There are lots of mines in Joshua Tree that you can explore, especially if you have some of the other maps. Desert Queen Mine is on the park map though, and it’s a relatively easy one to find. From the dirt parking lot, it’s about a quarter mile walk to an overlook that lets you gaze down on the mine and all of the mine shafts that scatter the hillside.
