This is a hike in Joshua Tree National Park that is relatively short and easy, with a beautiful view at the end. The landscape is rocky and great for climbing, and the hike eventually leads to a blue lake. It is important to note that the lake may be dry during certain times of the year.
The trail passes by many of the most notable features of the Mojave Desert and provides a thorough overview of the plant life that makes up the ecosystem as well as a variety of monzogranite rocks. A closer look at the history of the park's early ranching endeavors is provided by the dam itself. Water at Barker Dam is influenced by rainfall, however after a rainy day or season, tourists may be able to see this priceless desert resource. Barker Dam is surrounded by rich greenery, making it the perfect place to observe a variety of birds, reptiles, and even desert bighorn.
