Overview

Expand your journey through Joshua Tree National Park with this self-guided walking tour of the Hidden Valley Nature Trail. This secluded valley is known for its stunning rock formations and plentiful desert flora… but it was also once a hideout for a gang of dangerous cattle rustlers! As you explore, you’ll learn about the geology of this place, its plant and animal life, the gang that once hid here, and so much more. This is Joshua Tree’s most popular trail for a reason!
