Hiking Joshua Tree National Park

iOS Universal

Joshua Tree National Park is a desert park in southern California. It includes amazing vistas, stark desert landscapes, and rugged mountains. For those wishing to hike in this beautiful park, this app is for you.

It provides easy-to-use day hike information for more than 40 hikes in the park. Whether you want to explore Jumbo Rocks or hike to the top of Ryan Mountain, this app has hikes ranging from easy to strenuous.

The maps are included inside the app, so there is no downloading of files when you are ready to hike. We’ve also included vertical profile maps for each hike. All the maps can be panned and zoomed to make them easy to read.

Features for each hike:
-trailhead information
-hiking distances
-elevation change
-trail difficulty
-trail rating
-trail description
-trail map
-vertical profile

The app also includes climate and weather information, so you can plan your adventure for the right time of year.

Even if you aren't heading to Joshua Tree in the next few days, using this app allows you to dream of the day when you get a chance to see the incredible beauty of this desert environment.

This is not a GPS app.

Internet access is needed for the weather information and base map for the "Trailhead Locations" map.
