The Desert View Trailhead is located at the northwestern corner of Twin Peaks Campground. There are restrooms and drinking water available as well as a trail register that you can sign. The Desert View Trail is 1.1-mile loop that takes you through a beautiful natural cactus garden with giant Saguaros and plenty of Organ Pipe Cacti.

There are restrooms and ample parking at the trailhead. This loop is really well maintained and makes for a great warm-up lap to get a feel for the desert. There is a small climb and a delightful variety of cacti to marvel at along the path.
