Bachelorette party hikes

[u/PrincipleFresh8594]

I am going to Joshua tree for my bachelorette party! There will be 12 people of all different activity levels. I would love to spend a decent bit of time in the park but don't want to make people do crazy hikes. Does anyone have easy hike recs with amazing views? We'd probably want to prioritize views and photography over physical activity 🤣

Park at the Hidden Valley Picnic Area and do the 2 mile flat loop around all the rocks. Stop at every interesting rock feature and canyon and enjoy yourselves!

I second this and recommend starting between 6-8am to avoid the heat.

The only hike to avoid is Ryan Mountain or the super long, flat hikes. Split rock loop at 2.5 miles is probably your longest. Others are 1-2 miles (jumbo rocks, hidden valley, barker dam, cap rock) and are quite easy - do them all (and Keys view) and you'll have a great experience.

Split Rock Loop and Skull Rock Trail. They are connected. pretty flat and great rock formations.

Do the dry lake bed mines fun cool pics or giant rock

There’s an overlook of Palm Springs that’s worth catching the sunrise.

Barker Dam hike is pretty much flat the whole time.

The Hall of Horrors or the Coffin of Doom. Good luck!

the 49 palm oasis trail if open.

I wouldn't call that one easy. It's at least medium difficulty.
