California Guide - Lost Palms Oasis, Joshua Tree National Park The best of the relatively few day hikes in Joshua Tree National Park is the 4 mile path to Lost Palms Oasis, a sheltered steep-sided ravine that conceals a flourishing group of over 100 California fan palm trees, one of only five such groves in the park. At the oasis, the palm trees are large and flourishing - the deep, shaded ravine and water from an underground spring create a most microclimate that creates ideal growing conditions. The spring produces water all year and helps sustain a few dozen palm trees although this is not a natural group, being planted by settlers in the late nineteenth century. www.americansouthwest.net /california/joshua_tree/lost_palms_oasis.html

America's 10 Most Endangered National Parks: Joshua Tree National Park stablished as Joshua Tree National Monument in 1936 and redesignated a national park in 1994, Joshua Tree National Park protects a diverse desert environment at the junction of three distinct ecosystems. Air pollution is a serious problem in the park, which has some of the most unhealthy ozone pollution levels in the National Park System, putting at risk the health of park visitors, wildlife, and plants. Development would increase park air and light pollution, block travel corridors in and out of the park for animals such as the desert bighorn sheep, kit fox, and bobcat, and disrupt sand movement necessary to sustain endangered species habitat. www.npca.org /across_the_nation/ten_most_endangered/joshuatree.asp

Although an old Joshua Trees can sprout new plants from its roots, only the seeds produced in pollinated flowers can scatter far enough to establish a new stand.
