SKULL ROCK! JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK, CA.

Located along the main east-west park road, Skull Rock is a favorite stop for park visitors. A parking spot is located just across the road from the rock.
It began long ago when rain drops accumulated in tiny depressions and started to erode the granite. As more rock eroded, more water accumulated, leading to more erosion until, as time passed, two hollowed-out eye sockets formed and the rock began to resemble a skull.

California: Skull Rock @Joshua Tree National Park

It began long ago when rain drops accumulated in tiny depressions and started to erode the granite. As more rock eroded, more water accumulated, leading to more erosion until, as time passed, two hollowed-out eye sockets formed and the rock began to resemble a skull.

Located along the main east-west park road, Skull Rock is a favorite stop for park visitors. A parking spot is located just across the road from the rock.

For those wishing to stretch their legs, a 1.7-mile nature trail begins either just across from the entrance to Jumbo Rocks Campground or inside the campground, across from the amphitheater.

Riverside County - Skull Rock, Split Rock Hike

Three trail loops make up this hike. While crowds visit Skull Rock, much fewer visitors venture on the trails. The trails offer outstanding routes among desert granite monoliths. Climbers ascend vertical rock walls. Iconic Joshua Trees frame vistas of desert mountains. Winter rains encourage wildflowers to burst forth in the Spring. Bright colored blooms festoon cacti. A highlight of hiking in the desert are the technicolor sunsets.

A trip to Joshua Tree National Park | The Arch and Skull Rock

We took a trip to Joshua Tree National Park. We saw both the Arch and Skull Rock. It was a pretty cool day trip to this National Park. So much to see and do.

I am a 20 year Air Force veteran. After serving the military, I decided to continue wearing the uniform as an Air Force Junior ROTC Instructor. My position now is an Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI) and I teach high school kids about life and leadership.

Why did I start this YouTube channel? I wanted to document my life for my kids and future grand kids.......and whoever else want to watch my life.

1. Arch Rock

Arch Rock Joshua Tree desert loop trail is a short .3.7 mile loop takes you to one of the most famous rock formations in Joshua Tree National Park.  The fun and easy hike and scrambling can be done by your whole family and can easily be done in 20mins or much longer depending on how long you're exploring the boulders. 

2. Barker Dam Trail -

Hikers of all abilities will love this 1.1-mile loop Barker Dam Hike through the Wonderland of Rocks in Joshua Tree NP. If you’re lucky enough to be traveling in the winter or spring you’ll be treated to a rare sight in the desert, water. This Barker Dam was constructed in the 1900s and provides the only opportunity to photograph reflecting rock formations in its still waters. I suggest you arrive early and after a decent rain to ensure the best photograph results. However, if you’re here in the winter it can get quite cold and you may want to hike this trail in the middle of the day.

3. Ryan Mt Trail

If you're up for a little more of a challenge this 3 mile out and back hike gains over 1,000ft of elevation and gives you a birds-eye view of most of Joshua Tree National Park.

4. Keys View

Keys View is a fantastic vista that rests on the top of the Little San Bernardino Mountains and provides panoramic views of Palms Springs and the Coachella Valley. Its easy access by car makes puts this high on the list of things to do in Joshua Tree. From Keys View, you’ll be able to see the San Andreas Fault. You can also catch a view of Southern California’s two highest mountains, Mount San Jacinto and Mount Gorgonio. On a clear day, you can see California’s largest lake, the Salton Sea.

5. Rock Climbing -

Rock climbing in Joshua Tree National Park is world class and offers traditional crack climbing and bouldering.  This high desert monzogranite climbing mecca is famous for its traditional-style crack, slab, and steep face climbing. 

The Joshua Tree's has almost 800,000 acres of crack climbing. Thousands of options for sport climbers, slab climbers and a good number of multi-pitch classic routes.  There are more than 10,000 climbing routes, 2,000 boulder problems and hundreds of rock formations to scramble on.

6. Cholla Cactus Garden - Joshua Tree


7. Wall Street Mill Trail

This easy 3-mile out-and-back to the Wall Street Mill

8. Hidden Valley

Hidden Valley is one of my favorite parts of Joshua Tree.  The 1-mile stroll amongst the boulders and Joshua Trees is fun for the whole family.  If you're up for a little more adventure I suggest going climbing. 

9. The Chasm Of Doom -

The Chasm Of Doom a scramble, squeeze, craw and climb inside a granite maze amongst giant boulders. This secret set of tunnels and passageways is not for the faint of heart or the claustrophobic and It requires you to be comfortable climbing, scrambling and bouldering in the dark please exercise extreme caution.

How to find the Chasm of Doom -

10. Stargazing

My favorite places to see stars are Ryan Mt, Arch Rock, and Keys View

11. Keys Desert Queen Ranch

You need to book a tour to see this ranch. Be sure to book in advance at the Visitor Center.

12. Lost Horse Mine


13. Geology Road


14. Skull Rock and Jumbo Rocks

If you're short on time Skull Rock can be seen from the road but that doesn't really do it justice.  This 1.7-mile stroll in the park is part of Jumbo Rocks and the highlight of the rock formations is Skull Rock.  Sure it's just rock formation that looks like a Skull...

Skull Rock - Joshua Tree National Park

Skull Rock & Hidden Valley, Joshua Tree National Park

Hidden Valley is a self-guiding, one-mile loop trail that winds among massive boulders through what was believed to be a legendary cattle rustlers' hideout. It is one of the most popular and scenic hiking trails in Joshua Tree National Park. The area is also a popular rock-climbing area. Many visitors enjoy just watching the climbers in action.
Because of the Hidden Valley's natural encasement, a unique micro-habitat brings together a wide range of plants and animals not typically found together in other sections of the Park. Healthy populations of Joshua Tree, pinyon, juniper and oak share space with mesquite, yucca, nolina, various cacti and other species.
