Stubbe Springs Loop Trail | Joshua Tree National Park, CA
The best way to immerse yourself in the beauty of Joshua Tree National Park is to head into the desert backcountry, and we did it. We chose the Stubbe Springs Loop Trail. It is a tough hike, but ideal for adventure seekers. During this hike you will find numerous types of terrain.
❗ Remember that it is a desert environment. Be sure to stay hydrated and bring First-Aid supplies. You have to bring all the water you’ll use on your trip.
We started out from the Juniper Flats parking lot following the California Riding and Hiking Trail. It is a well-defined route without much elevation gain. After walking for approximately 4 miles, we left the main road and took a path that connects with the Stubbe Springs Trail. This first portion is quite scenic and it has plenty of Joshua trees and interesting desert plants.
Our steps took us to the high point of this route with great views over the park. Then, we descended towards the Stubbe Spring, which was used by the ranchers and homesteaders as a water source. The path continues with a quick series of winding ups and downs before entering a wash. Some miles ahead we connected with Juniper Flats road that ends at the Juniper Flats parking lot.
🌴🌵Joshua trees aren't really trees, they’re flowering yucca plants valued by the native Indians to make soap and baskets.
