About This Trail

The trail connecting Indio Hills to the backside of Joshua Tree National Park is used for off road driving. The couple of narrow sections would be a problem for a truck. It comes out onto a shooting range road, so be careful when you see the broken asphalt road. A $20 pass is required to enter Joshua Tree National Park.
