Fodor's Expert Review Ryan Mountain Trail
Joshua Tree National Park
Trail
The payoff for hiking to the top of Ryan Mountain is one of Joshua Tree's best panoramas. From here, you can see Mt. San Jacinto, Mt. San Gorgonio, Lost Horse Valley, and the Pinto Basin. You'll need two to three hours to complete the 3-mile out-and-back trail with 1,062 feet of elevation gain. Difficult.
