The Lost Palms of Joshua Tree

The sign at the trailhead says to carry water but I'm not going to and I'll show you why you may not have to either. In the southern portion of Joshua Tree National Park is a trail leading to the Lost Palms Oasis. Join me for a pleasant hike through rocky desert landscapes, and see plants such as ocotillo, cactus, and more. And see a gruesome discovery that I happened upon. Learn how to safely drink water you might find in the desert if you're in a survival situation.
