One of our favorite hikes in Joshua Tree NP. Moderate level, involves a good bit of work and exercise, but the payoff is worth it. We were rewarded at the end with a beautiful view of palm trees and a pool of water at the oasis. Really beautiful and worth prioritizing especially if you are short on time - this one only took us 2 hours total. We were fast because we didn’t want to be stuck on the trail at sunset. While the trail is marked well enough, I can see how it would be easy to get lost on this trail. You won’t see the big boulder piles that characterize Joshua Tree, but you’ll see lots of beautiful vegetation here and enjoy a popular hike that is not as crowded as others in the park proper.
