Description

Added by Sal Cavazos

The Wall Street Mill offers incredible views of Joshua Tree. If you choose to hike it at night, you'll get amazingly dark skies, great for capturing the Milky Way.

Hike along the easy Wall Street Mill Trail for about one mile and you will reach the mill - if you are into night photography, this is an amazing subject that will bring you back again and again, always capturing something different. Explore around off trail - there are tons of boulders to play and climb around on - keep track of where you are if hiking at night though!

Camping is by donation, pick up yellow/manila envelope at entrance of each campsite. Choose campsite location, fill-out envelope, tear perforated portion, and clip on campsite post number.

Takes you back in time to a first of its kind mine with colourful characters and the site of a shoot out over water rights. Easy enjoyable walk

FYI - Camping at Wall Street Mill is illegal. That area is designated as Day-Use only. Here's what it says on the NPS site-- "Your backcountry campsite must be located one mile from the road and 500 feet from any trail or water source. Make yourself aware of any day-use areas in the vicinity (they are indicated on the topo maps at the backcountry registration boards)". Also, all fires are prohibited in the backcountry. If you want do an overnight in the backcountry you should park at one of the 13 "Backcountry Boards" and register there for free. Pay attention to the Day-Use areas and off-limits zones. Car camping can be found nearby at Hidden Valley, Ryan, and Jumbo Rocks campgrounds for a nightly fee.

After 0.2 miles straight on the trail, you'll hit the loop and can continue in either direction. You can ...

Watch the Sunset from Echo Rock

Park your car at the Echo Rock Parking Area. The trail starts next to the outhouse and heads north. As you walk through the sand, there is a large rock pile to your right, the top of that is your destination. Continue walking until you've reached the far north end of the rock formation and then turn right and walk along the northern end of the pile until you find a good spot to start your sc...

Camp at Hidden Valley in Joshua Tree

Joshua Tree National Park is known for its world class rock climbing, out of this world landscapes, and some of the darkest skies around. Having a base camp inside of the park is incredibly important as it's quite massive and I found that Hidden Valley Campground is strategically placed smack dab near the centre of the park. It's also extremely photogenic, as is the entire park, actually. Scout...
