Lucky Boy Vista

This trail is one of three that begin at the Desert Queen Mine Trail parking lot. From the parking lot, head east towards the wash where the start of the trail is marked. The majority of the 1.9 miles out, visitors will travel over a wash and through sand between two ridges. From there, the trail will head through some hills towards the end. The trail will end at a beautiful vista looking east. Along the way, there are interesting rock formations as well as plenty of native vegetation. Several areas along the way offer shade. Miners used this route to travel between mines back in the mining heyday of Joshua Tree. All mines are blocked off for safety today. Camping is allowed in this area, however, there are no water sources, so you'll need to bring your own. Bathrooms at the parking lot are well maintained. There are several alternate paths along the way that offer minor boulder hopping. With three great trails from one parking lot, this is one of the best spots in this park!
