DAY HIKE - LOST PALMS OASIS
Joshua Tree National Park
Notice: Effective October 1, 2004, a two dollar fee ($2) will be
charged for all non members on day hikes, 4x4 outings and moonlight hikes.
* There is a $15 per vehicle admission fee into the park *
(We will share gas & park admission unless someone in the vehicle has a valid pass.)
Description:
The Lost Palms Oasis, near Cottonwood Spring, is the largest group of palms in Joshua Tree National Park.
The trail runs up and down through washes and across plateaus with changing views of nearby rock formations
and distant mountains. At the end, there is a short, steep trail down into the canyon.
We will plan on spending at least an hour at the oasis to allow time to explore up and down the streambed.
Note: There is an admission fee to the park: $15.00 per vehicle or one of the National Park passes.
Please compensate your drivers for fuel as well!
