Wonderland of Rocks via The Willow Hole Trail
Joshua Tree National Park
The Willow Hole Trail leads deep into the Wonderland of Rocks, a lengthy and uninterrupted stretch of uniquely assembled monzogranite rock formations. Hikers will enjoy a brief section of the renowned Boy Scout Trail before turning east on the Willow Hole Trail. The destination named so for a seasonal water source surrounded by willow trees is easily reached and is especially well lit in the afternoon.
