Location: Lancaster, Los Angeles County, California, United States
WIthin this 120-acre park you'll find three miles of well maintained trails, taking you through a microcosm of desert landscapes. Though small, this nature preserve is home a wide array of plants and animals that are well adapted to the desert climate. As you hike around the park keep your eyes open for jack rabbits, and cottontails darting between Juniper and Joshua Trees. Or find a lizard sunbathing on a rock or one of the many bird species that circle in the skies above.
The city of Lancaster has an excellent video with a few of their Park Rangers walking and talking you through the park so you know what to expect:
