Trail Closures Announced at Joshua Tree National Park

If you’re planning a trip to Joshua Tree National Park, be aware that two popular trails will be undergoing maintenance and will have temporary closures lasting until March 2025. The 49 Palms Oasis trail will be closed Mondays through Thursdays during the maintenance period, allowing limited access to visitors on weekends. Meanwhile, the Kola Cactus Garden trail will remain entirely closed throughout the project. Park officials emphasize the importance of these closures to ensure the safety of visitors and to preserve the integrity of the trails during the maintenance process. Alternative hiking options remain available for those eager to explore the park’s breathtaking landscapes. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and check the park’s website or visitor center for updates on trail accessibility. These efforts aim to improve the trail experience for future visitors while maintaining the natural beauty of Joshua Tree National Park.
