HIDDEN VALLEY WALKING TRAIL TOUR

Tucked behind towering rock walls, Hidden Valley Nature Trail offers a glimpse into one of Joshua Tree National Park’s most beautiful and fascinating landscapes. This easy, one-mile loop winds through a sheltered desert basin filled with massive granite formations, hardy desert plants, and peaceful, quiet beauty. Along the way, spot highlights like the eerie Chasm of Doom slot canyon, blooming nolina plants, and perhaps even desert wildlife like cottontails or soaring birds overhead.

Discover stories of fearless rock climbers who conquered these rugged walls, early conservationists who fought to preserve this wild place, and legends of the elusive Yucca Man that stir the imagination. Glimpses of ancient Native American heritage and tales of old cattle rustlers add even more mystery to this hidden desert enclave.

Hidden Valley invites you to slow down, take in sweeping desert vistas, and savor the timeless feeling of exploring a secret corner of one of America’s most iconic national parks.
