JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK Between COVID-19 restrictions and cold winter weather, options for travel, camping and hiking are pretty limited for Utahns.
Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California is one place you can travel to find warm temperatures outdoors. Here are three great hikes in the park for you to check out.
Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail
Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail is a stunning, short and somewhat strenuous trek through barren terrain into a small oasis of palm trees and lush greens in the middle of the desert. This 3.1-mile, out-and-back hike is just outside the town of Twentynine Palms, according to All Trails. And despite its short length, it contains 636 feet of elevation gain.
