The Lost Palms Oasis Trail is a 7.5-mile (round trip) out-and-back hike with 500 feet of elevation gain. The trail leads through a diverse landscape of sandy washes and rocky mountainous terrain, and ends at Lost Palms Oasis, one of five fan palm oases in the park. The oasis is a refuge for a variety of birds and mammals, including the occasional bighorn sheep. Water, food, and shelter attract animals to this unique ecosystem.   

This hike is great for those looking for a longer day hike and opportunities to see wildlife.  

The trail is considered challenging because of its length and the strenuous climb out of the oasis. It has very little shade and is not recommended in the summer heat. Bring adequate food and water supplies, and wear sun protection.
