There is a hike for everyone, no matter your choice of length or difficulty. Our favourite of the day was the Split Rock Loop. It had a little bit of everything that you want to experience at Joshua Tree and we had an opportunity to watch some climbers. Also checked out Hall of Horrors and started our day with an easy walk at Hidden Valley Trail.

Easy walking from parking circle down to the Palm Trees, steps with hand rail to use. Nice to walk around if you wish. Other trails from here if you wish. We used Highway 10 entry point , go to Ranger Station and turn righ and follow the road to parking area. Great views of true American Palm Trees. There are tree in other areas also.

The Hall of Horrors is not necessarily a favorite spot when visiting Joshua Tree NP, but it will depend on what activity there is on the rocks. You just might have the opportunity to see some climbers and that can make the stop worthwhile. There is also a restroom and a hiking trail that is most enjoyable. We made a couple of stops here during our days in the park and were treated to some climbers and enjoyed the hiking loop around the Hall of Horrors.

A Ranger at the Oasis Visitor's Center talked to me about the oasis and how the name of the town came about. It was all very interesting. The oasis formed because a fault runs along is and the pressure the fault creates forces water to the surface. I asked if it was an active fault and he told me that there hasn't been anything major as far as earthquakes, but the visitor center has been retrofitted for the possibility. Interesting.

We had the wrong spot to search and spent some time beating the bushes looking and then gave up. While leaving we saw the Marked on the other side of Key View Road. Turned around and had a hard time parking because this area has curbs, but did find Lost Horse Mine Road and were able to park there and walk to the Grave Site. Could not read all of the marker but could still see his name. A part of this areas history about a miner that died on this lonely area. Was hard to find but worth the effort. Use care this seems to be a highway that is well used. Know the history before you goo.
