3. Hidden Valley

   The Hidden Valley Nature Trail is our main hiking destination for the tour and, in our opinion, is the most scenic nature hike in Joshua Tree National Park. We will be hiking this easy to moderate 1 mile loop which takes about 45 minutes to complete. You'll be surrounded by enormous granite rock formations and beautiful desert nature as you walk along the trail of hidden valley. You'll want to bring your camera and take lots of pictures. This is a fairly easy walk but if your group doesn't feel up to it we can do more driving and sightseeing instead.

6. Skull Rock

   (An Optional Stop )Skull Rock might be one of the most popular rocks in the park. Located around Jumbo Rocks campground, It's an iconic metamorphic boulder which is shaped like a skull. Kids love Skull Rock. Joshua Tree National Park has lots of gorgeous boulders, some look like they are carved out and shaped by someone but it's just millions of years of erosion.
