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.

This is the perfect sunset hike. It’s a pretty quick and casual trek up to the peak, where you’ll see some incredible views of Joshua Tree. At dusk on a clear day, the eerie, glowing rocks will take your breath away. Distance: 2.3 miles Difficulty: Easy

Mastodon Peak trail provides incredible views out over the Colorado Desert portion of the park. This 2.6-mile round-trip loop trail gains 400 feet of elevation, making it one of the harder hikes in the park.
