The Lost Palms Oasis Trail ends above a deep canyon 3.25 miles from its beginning. The terrain is rugged enough for the park service to post a warning at the official end of the trail. A rocky unofficial trail opens the canyon view a little for these oasis images. Strong wind gusts made this extension brief. It was too risky to negotiate a way into the canyon at this time. Sit among the fan palms at 49 Palms!
