photo opportunities’ around Joshua Tree CA…
The locals refer to the area as “Section Six”.
 

 

The best parking is just before the main Gate, Take
time to read the rules sign and enjoy your visit.

 

Grab your photo gear, water, phone and start walking.
 Please respect my backyard, stay on the main roads 

and the many miles of single track trails.

 



 

The single track trails are kid friendly, watch out for

the mountain bikers please give them the right away.

Their are plenty of rock piles to explore, climb and shoot.

 

 

As you adventure thru DVCA look for rock piles

with shapes. The rocks above has a bitter face and

one of the rocks below the face looks like a car

with the hood up.

 

 

 

Park at the top of Onaga Trail and walk east

to the northern  boundary of Joshua Tree National

Park. From the top of Onage Trail the jeep trail  

requires a four wheel drive vehicle. Section five is

BLM between  DVCA and JTNP.

 

 

Sunset hikes produce some awesome photos.

 



 

Sunrise hikes?



 

 

Create your own desert landscape print .  

Enjoy the sunrise or sunset your choice! When the

clouds are right, enjoy the many hiking loops.

The average single track trail loop is under 1 hour

to walk.

 

Mid day hike, watching the clouds on a beginner

single track trail.
