Barker Dam - Joshua Tree National Park

The roughly 1.5 mi. Barker Dam Nature Trail loop showcases interesting petroglyphs, myriad climbing options, and a good chance to see wildlife.  I hiked this trail in January after a snow and enjoyed it even though parts of the trail were a little icy though I suspect that isn't a concern 99.9% of the time.

The trail head is located just east of the Hidden Valley Campground.
