Joshua
Tree National Park
The dirt roads in Covington Flats offer access to some of the park’s
largest Joshua trees, junipers, and pinyon pines in the high desert. From
Covington Flats picnic area to Eureka Peak is 3.8 miles (6.2 km) one way.
The dirt road is steep near the end, but the top offers views of Palm
Springs, the surrounding mountains, and the Morongo Basin. Your trip will be
6.5 miles (10.5 km) longer if you ride or drive over to the backcountry
board, a starting point for excellent hiking. |
