Amazing views across the Coachella Valley. It was a bit hazy but very cool to view the landscape. Well worth the extra drive (or hike if you like).

Ryan Mountain

Four mile hiking trail offering great views from the top.

Reviewed By Susie1028 - San Diego, United States

Ryan Mountain is an out and back, 3-mile round trip hike with 1,050 feet of elevation gain. That's fairly steep. The trail is dirt with numerous stone steps. The summit is at 5,457-feet, and offers impressive panoramic views of the jumbled rock formations and Joshua trees that make up the national park. Bring water, and be mindful of the temperatures. There is a parking lot and bathroom at the trailhead. Located in the center of the national park, closer to the west entrance.

Hidden Valley

Reviewed By GeofJx - Germantown, United States

This was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s a nice relatively easy hike through the rocks and around the valley and is a spectacular example of the rocks and micro climates that make this spot so special. Great boulders for scrambling and there are plenty of climbing routes for the skilled rock climbers. Don’t miss this spot. Parking is limited and it can get crowded as it is very popular.

Joshua Tree Ranch

Reviewed By lavidal2013 - Westhampton Beach, United States

I’ve always wanted to come here since a certain band put out a certain CD....I always thought it looked hauntingly beautiful and it did not disappoint . We got a map from the park service and toured all the recommended landmarks . It is thrilling to see all of the history in this park and imagine what life was like when people lived there . Bring water and good tall hiking boots and food or snacks . You can spend the entire day just exploring . Make sure you stay and watch the sunset over the desert !!
