Fortynine Palms Oasis

The trail starts at Fortynine Palms Parking Area, goes up and over a ridge dotted with barrel cacti, and descends to a palm oasis in a rocky canyon. The palm trees were planted by miners in the early 1900s to easily locate the natural spring located there.^[3] The oasis is frequently used as a watering hole for bighorn sheep.^[4] In July 2018 a Canadian hiker, Paul Miller, went missing while on the trail. His remains were found off the trail in January 2020.^[5]
