The boulder in and around Joshua Tree are quite extraordinary and worth a little hike to get in amongst them. Several walks around, so no matter your fitness you'll find something to suit. A very enjoyable few hours touring and walking in the area

This is a very nice and easy to walk trail that gives you a good impression of many of the type of sites you will see in the park, from high desert flora, to giant boulder mountains that look like a giant just piled up them up randomly across the desert. I don't normally get my wife to hike with me but she did this one and enjoyed it. You do get lots of crazy rock patterns and formations that are interesting to see and you pass by The Burrito, a famous mountain for rock climbers. Best to do this hike earlier in the morning if you are going in the summer, as it gets hot. Bring water and hat, and binoculars.
This is about a 1 mile circular walk through a small valley showing off lots of the spectacular things that the Joshua Tree Park has to offer.
Great views of the piles of massive boulders. Great close up to trees and shrubs.
Worth it if visiting this park.
Visited on a really hot day in early August but it was still worth the effort. It's hard to believe that before the entrance way was blasted through the rock many years ago this place was completely inaccessible. My kids enjoyed clambering on the rocks and posing for photographs. Just remember to keep hydrated... Drink the water you take with you as the inside of the bottle is not dependent upon it like you are!
mesmerizing hikes, very surrealistic view. we were staying on the campground and had an amazing experience
This is a great experience with little effort. The hidden valley is really hidden. Great views - the hike is about 1 hour on same level.
