Latest Joshua Tree hotel reviews
Ryan Mountain is a fairly ambitious hike, it may be better to do in the early morning, the desert gets pretty hot. You will get some outstanding panoramic views from the 5,461-foot summit.
This trail is best found by entering from the north side of the park at either the Black Rock or Oasis visitor Center
Equipment: same as always...boots, backpack, lots of water, a lunch, spare clothes for warmth.

This hike is about 8 miles long and offers some nice changes in scenery & action. It is a great day hike. As with many other areas in the park, there is plenty of opportunity for scrambling on the rocks. At the trailhead you will see a huge group of California fan palm trees, along with some indian artifacts from the previous peoples here.
You will also pass a bunch of mine shaft that we used for mining for such things as gold.
Equipment: The trail is marked fairly well, although it is easy to get lost if you start scrambling and don't pay attention.
Bring boots, definitely lots of water, and some warmer clothes in a backpack if you will venture far away from your car.
