    Two hollowed-out eye sockets carved into a rock shaped like a skull await you here in Joshua Tree National Park. A beautiful 1.7-mile nature trail runs through the Skull Rock area.

      It is not hard to guess where this impressive rock formation got its name from. Besides Skull Rock you will see a lot more fascinating rock formations along the Skull Rock Nature Trail that where shaped by erosion over millions of years.

        Very nice to hike on the trail of the same name, on which there are many unusual rock formations to admire.
