49 Palms Oasis Trail Details
The highlights of the 49 Palms Oasis Trail are several stands of fan palms and pools of water found at the oasis, 1.5 miles from the trail's beginning. The well-maintained trail requires two to three hours and ascends about 300 feet each way, passing large numbers of barrel cacti. After winding around a ridge-top, hikers will descend into the oasis, located in a rocky canyon, where there are large boulders and shade. The trail itself, however, does not offer shade, so bring adequate water and wear a hat. The trailhead for this 3-mile roundtrip, moderately strenuous hike is at the end of 2-mile-long Canyon Road, just off Twentynine Palms Highway, five miles west of the Oasis Visitor Center. There is a parking area.
