Follow the obvious trail to the palm oasis.



The trail takes you up a couple hundred feet before you descend into the canyon where the palms are.

You can see the Fortynine Palms Oasis in the center.





Fortynine Palms Oasis.

Head south into Fortynine Palms Canyon.

Definitely quickly leaves the crowds behind.

The first of a few Class 2/3 obstacles.





A random palm farther up the canyon.


Looking back down Fortynine Palms Canyon.






An interesting gate-like opening in the canyon, leading to a short slotty section.

Shawn scrambling up.


The canyon opens up into a valley for a bit.



Eventually, it's time to turn into the canyon we chose to make a full loop.


A fun scrambling section.

And lots of cactus obstacles.


Looking back up the scrambly section of the canyon.

Another random lone palm tree.

Entering the main canyon we decided to descend in. Not sure it has an official name. Nor did the park rangers I later asked.
