Lost Palms Oasis

Head to this trail if you like to go on longer hikes. It takes about 4 hours if you don't stop but you probably will want to pause to take in fantastic vistas and bird-watching. Overall, the trail is just over 7 miles long. Bring plenty of water, a flashlight, and a backpack! From the I-10 take Cottonwood Springs Rd. and go north. After about six miles, take the curve to Cottonwood Oasis Rd. and continue to the end where you'll see the parking lot and trailhead.
