Description
Like many of the roads in Joshua Tree National Park, this route can be a bit sandy, but that doesn't mean it can't be a worthy connector. Though not a superb hiking trail, this is still a more enjoyable way to experience the desert than being in your car. Come prepared with plenty of water, and enjoy stretching your legs and getting into the desert!
