The palm tree oasis at the end of the trail. This area provides shade, food, and water for some of the wildlife that can be found in the park, including bighorn sheep.
Groups descend the trail through the desert. As you can see, the trail is exposed for the duration, so make sure you have enough water, sunscreen, and a hat to protect you from the heat and sun.
