Desert Willow Trail

Take a nice sunny walk with limited shade along most of the trail. Midday walks during the summer months can be quite hot, but there are benches situated in shady spots along the way. This dirt trail wanders through open fields of fall-blooming alkali golden-bush, along the edge of honey mesquite thickets, then drops into a desert wash habitat with desert willow, evergreen yerba santa, and wild tarragon.

Just past the Currie Bridge, continue your walk along the Desert Willow Trail where it joins the shady Marsh Trail, or climb the Yucca Ridge Trail to get panoramic views of the valley, the canyon, and the mountains.
