Forty-Nine Palms Trail ~ approx. 5 kilometers in a good hour of pure walking time in the scorching heat (at least in midsummer) it's really extremely hot ☀️ there's really no warning about it for nothing and it's advised to take enough water with you ❗️ Shade can only be found at the end of the trail by the palm trees. It is absolutely amazing/fascinating when you suddenly encounter this oasis while wandering through this desert landscape and it is worth the effort ☺️

Another sad note on the side rtlnext.rtl.de/cms/joshua-tree-nationalpark-suchtrupp-findet-corpses-arm-in-arm-sind-es-rachel-nguyen-und-joseph-orbeso- 4130178.html which makes you aware of how tragic it can end if you don't have enough to drink with you and even leave the hiking trails behind ...

Joshua Tree National Park 🌴

Joshua Tree National Park is a large nature reserve in southern California. It is characterized by rugged rock formations and barren desert landscapes. Named for the region's bizarrely shaped, spiky Joshua trees, the park borders the cactus-studded Colorado Desert and the higher and cooler Mojave Desert. The Keys View lookout overlooks the Coachella Valley. Hiking trails meander through the boulders in the Hidden Valley. ― Google

Fortynine Palms Oasis
is a three mile round trip trail in Joshua Tree National Park, California with a 300 foot elevation gain in each direction. [1] [2] The trail starts at the Fortynine Palms Parking Area, goes up and over a ridge dotted with barrel cacti and down to a palm oasis in a rocky canyon. The palm trees were planted by miners in the early 1900's to easily locate the natural spring located there. [3] The oasis is often used as a drinking trough for bighorn sheep. [4] In July 2018, a Canadian hiker, Paul Miller, went missing on the trail. His remains were found off the trail in January 2020 - so be careful, it's not to be trifled with in the midsummer heat there❗️
