I personally enjoy the Lost Palms Oasis trail the best in JTNP. Its NEVER crowded. I feel as though more people visit the north end of the park rather than from the south end which is why 49 Palms is much more crowded. There of course are no joshua trees on the Lost Palms trail but it's packed with yucca and ocotillo and a little red cacti, I don't recall its name. The views, however, along the lost palms trail are endless. Every time I go back I have to stop to take a look around me just so I can take it all in and really appreciate the area. It's such a remote area and its so quiet and peaceful.
favorite hike in Joshua Joshua tree is the Boy Scout Trail. I like like going from a joshua tree forest to junipers and pines. And dropping down into Indian Cove is spectacular, other worldly. I recommend it!

Nice Description.You should attach this to the Page for Joshua Tree, so it will be of someone who is poking around to find out about the area will see it.
Is the Lost Palms Oasis as nice as the 49 Palms Oasis? I like that hike, but it it tends to be crowded, probably because it is a shorter hike.
