About this trail

Lost Palms Oasis Trail is a 7.2-mile (11.6 km) day-hike trail located in the southernmost part of Joshua Tree National Park. The trail is generally completed in a loop. Known for the beautiful palm trees from which the trail gets its name, this hike is also known for its great bouldering, pools of water, and the ever-elusive "Victory Palms". Deemed by the National Park Service as a day-use-only area, this trail is also home to bighorn sheep who use the pools as their main source of water.
