Hidden Valley, Hiking trail in Joshua Tree National Park, US.
The Hidden Valley Trail forms a one-mile loop through rock formations and sandy terrain, featuring native desert plants at 34.01°N, 116.17°W.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, this enclosed valley provided protection for cattle rustlers who used the natural rock barriers for concealment.
Educational signs throughout the path inform visitors about Joshua Tree National Park's ecological systems, native plants, and desert wildlife adaptations.
The trail requires one liter of water per person, contains rock steps, and lacks cellular service, making advance preparation essential for the journey.
A natural rock formation named Cow Rock stands on the valley wall, displaying a geological structure that resembles the profile of a bovine.
