Hiking Nolina Peak

January 17th, 2009, 23:36 hours

About a 9 mile hike from our front door in the valley below up to 360-degree views of Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms. The entire Nolina Peak area was recently bought up by The Mojave Desert Land Trust and is scheduled to be turned over to Joshua Tree NP in the near future.
