About This Trail

Trailhead parking is past the driveway for the National Monument Visitor Center in Palm Desert, approximately 100 feet on the southwest side of Highway 74. Facing the hill, walk to right end of parking lot. At trailhead sign, follow path, staying to the right as it hugs the hill. Keep going up. Hopalong will break off to the right, but keep going straight. Follow trail until you arrive at the Oasis. You will know the oasis by its palms; sadly, there are no camels. Return by the same route.
