• Samuelsons Rock - This intriguing landmark is accessible via a moderate 3.3-mile trail. Nearly a century ago, a mysterious man named John Samuelson carved various thoughts and declarations into these rocks. They remain today as a curious, almost mystical sight.
• Willow Hole - A 7-mile trail leads directly to Willow Hole, a seemingly miraculous oasis in the desert. Surrounded by willow trees, this oasis must be seen to be believed. Many visitors initially think it’s a mirage!
• Hemingway Buttress - The Hemingway Buttress is a favored climbing spot in the park. It rises dramatically from the ground, inviting visitors to climb it. The buttress features a large pile of boulders that are fun to scramble over, and climbers of all skill levels can find enjoyment here.

• Intersection Rock - Intersection Rock is considered a hub within Joshua Tree. Its towering size makes it visible from afar, casting a striking silhouette against the desert sky. It’s also a popular climbing spot, offering various routes with names like Knuckle Cracker, Ignorant Photons from Pluto, and Sympathy to the Devil.
• Cap Rock Trail - Cap Rock is a peculiar sight, featuring a small boulder precariously perched atop a larger rock formation. Here, you’ll find a short quarter-mile trail filled with information about the local flora.
• Lost Horse Valley - Lost Horse Valley is a vast desert valley named after the McHaney Gang’s misdeeds during the Wild West era. You’ll hear all about it as you drive through, including the tale of an overconfident miner’s attempt to retrieve his stolen horses!
• Lost Horse Mine - The Lost Horse Mine Loop Trail leads to a unique location: the remains of one of the region’s most successful gold mines. This four-mile trail also features magnificent desert flora and excellent vistas. If visiting in summer, be prepared for limited shade.
• Queen Valley Road - Another abandoned mine awaits in Queen Valley. The gold discovered here was the motive behind at least one murder and much more.
• Skull Rock - This iconic granite formation resembles a human skull. Easily accessible from the roadside, it also serves as the trailhead for a popular 2-mile hiking trail.
• Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center - Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center is a fantastic place to learn about Joshua Tree’s flora, fauna, and the stars above. As a dark sky area, Joshua Tree offers impressive stargazing, so try to stay after dark if possible!
• Oasis Visitor Center - The Oasis Visitor Center is the final stop on the main tour route. Located in the town of Twenty-Nine Palms, it’s not far from where your tour began. If you wish to continue exploring Joshua Tree, you can follow the detour route, which heads south through the rest of the park and exits via the southern gate.
